Evidence used

  • No CISA KEV confirmation is currently recorded.
  • A structured source references public exploit or proof-of-concept material.
  • EPSS is 0.36% for the current model date.

Compensating controls

  • Apply the linked authoritative mitigation while planning the permanent fix.
  • Restrict the affected network interface to trusted sources where business-safe.
  • Increase monitoring for the attack path and post-exploitation behaviour described in the report.

Verification

  1. Confirm that the asset runs pocket-id pocket-id and falls inside the recorded affected range.
  2. Recheck the vendor advisory before scheduling a change because no verified fixed version is currently retained.
  3. Validate exposure, authentication requirements and compensating controls in the actual environment.
  4. Reopen this reassessment when CVSS, KEV, EPSS, exploit evidence or remediation changes.
Mitigation target: Within 3 daysRemediation target: Within 90 days

This automated reassessment organises public evidence. It does not know asset exposure, business impact or control effectiveness and does not replace CVSS or a human risk decision.

What, why and how

Pocket ID is an OIDC provider that allows users to authenticate with their passkeys to your services. Prior to 2.6.0, The createTokenFromRefreshToken function (oidc_service.go) validates the refresh token's cryptographic integrity but does not re-validate the user's current authorization state before issuing new tokens. This allows (1) the client to refresh the token indefinitely after authorization revocation, (2) the refresh token to continue to work after the account is disabled, and (3) the token to work after the client is removed from the group. This vulnerability is fixed in 2.6.0.

This vulnerability is fixed in 2.6.0.

Why

The product does not perform or incorrectly performs an authorization check when an actor attempts to access a resource or perform an action.

How

An attacker operating through a network path may attempt exploitation with low privileges. If successful, the issue may cause the confidentiality, integrity or availability impact described by the vendor.

Exploit reality and attack path

CVSS severity, EPSS forecast probability, public exploit material and CISA-confirmed exploitation are separate signals.

Observed exploitation
?Confirmed exploitation and public exploit material are separate signals. Attacks can occur without public proof-of-concept or exploit code.
No confirmed evidence

No CISA KEV match was present at the last successful refresh. This means no confirmation from that source, not proof of no exploitation.

Public PoC / exploit material
?Confirmed exploitation and public exploit material are separate signals. Attacks can occur without public proof-of-concept or exploit code.
Reference recorded

A structured CVE source labels at least one public reference as exploit material. BlackTree has not independently validated that it is safe, reliable or weaponised.

CWE-285: Improper Authorization. The product does not perform or incorrectly performs an authorization check when an actor attempts to access a resource or perform an action.

JVN iPedia · Japanese · JVNDB-2026-015596Pocket IDにおける複数の脆弱性

Pocket IDは、ユーザーがパスキーを使ってサービスに認証できるOIDCプロバイダーです。バージョン2.6.0以前では、createTokenFromRefreshToken関数（oidc_service.go）がリフレッシュトークンの暗号的整合性を検証しますが、新しいトークンを発行する前にユーザーの現在の認可状態を再検証していませんでした。これにより、(1) クライアントが認可取り消し後もトークンを無期限にリフレッシュできる、(2) アカウントが無効化された後もリフレッシュトークンが機能し続ける、(3) クライアントがグループから削除された後もトークンが機能し続ける、という問題が発生していました。この脆弱性はバージョン2.6.0で修正されています。
