How to Fix CVE-2025-30206
To remediate this vulnerability, upgrade all affected Github.com/donknap/dpanel dependencies to a patched release. Both direct and transitive dependencies should be checked, as frameworks or security libraries may pull in vulnerable versions transitively.
Upgrade github.com/donknap/dpanel to 1.6.1Run the following command in your project directory to verify that all resolved dependencies use the patched release:
inspect dependencies for github.com/donknap/dpanelHow to Check if You Are Affected
To determine whether your application is affected by CVE-2025-30206, inspect your project dependencies for Github.com/donknap/dpanel:
inspect dependencies for github.com/donknap/dpanelAnalyze the terminal output to locate any version of Github.com/donknap/dpanel in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 1.6.1), your application is affected.
Note: Verify declared build manifests and deployed runtime container environments.

"details" : "### Summary\nThe Dpanel service contains a hardcoded JWT secret in its default configuration, allowing attackers to generate valid JWT tokens and compromise the host machine.\n\n### Details\nThe Dpanel service, when initiated using its default configuration, includes a hardcoded JWT secret embedded directly within its source code. This security flaw allows attackers to analyze the source code, discover the embedded secret, and craft legitimate JWT tokens. By forging these tokens, an attacker can successfully bypass authentication mechanisms, impersonate privileged users, and gain unauthorized administrative access. Consequently, this enables full control over the host machine, potentially leading to severe consequences such as sensitive data exposure, unauthorized command execution, privilege escalation, or further lateral movement within the network environment. It is recommended to replace the hardcoded secret with a securely generated value and load it from secure configuration storage to mitigate this vulnerability.\n\n\n### PoC\nThe core code snippet is shown below:\n```python\nimport jwt\n\ndef generate_jwt(appname):\n\n payload = {\n \"SECRET_KEY\"：\"SECRET_VALUE\",\n }\n print(\"appname:\", appname)\n print(\"payload:\", str(payload))\n token = jwt.encode(payload, SECRET_KEY.format(APP_NAME=appname), algorithm=\"HS256\")\n return token\n\nappname = \"SECRET_KEY\"\ntoken = generate_jwt(appname)\nprint(\"url token:\", token)\n```\n\n### Impact\nAttackers who successfully exploit this vulnerability can write arbitrary files to the host machine's file system, and all users with Dpanel versions less than 1.6.1 are affected.",
