Summary
Xerj Console API from v1.0.0-rc.11 is affected. Bearer tokens can bypass the passkey-only authentication requirement (CWE-306), so the API token creation endpoint is reachable without the intended authentication. A remote attacker without privileges can mint persistent successor credentials.

Description from the CNA
