CVE-2026-42869: Hardcoded JWT secret in SOCFortress CoPilot allows admin token forgery
SOCFortress CoPilot versions prior to 0.1.57 shipped a hardcoded JWT signing secret as a fallback in the backend code and in .env.example, so any deployment that did not explicitly set JWT_SECRET (including the default Docker Compose setup) signed tokens with a publicly known value. An unauthenticated attacker could forge admin-scoped JWTs and take full control of the application and every security tool it manages; fixed in 0.1.57.
