What is CVE-2025-47945?

The Donetick task management application, prior to version 0.1.44, utilized weak default values for signing secrets in its JSON Web Token (JWT) authentication system.

However, the presence of this vulnerability in live environments indicates a considerable risk to user security. It is crucial for users to update to version 0.1.44, which implements necessary patches to mitigate this vulnerability.
