Description

Homer is open source telecom observability software. Prior to version 11.0.283, both JWT middleware functions (JWTMiddleware and JWTMiddlewareV4) immediately return next(c) when jwtSecret == "". The JWT secret defaults to an empty string. On a default installation, all protected API endpoints under /api/v1, /api/v3, and /api/v4 are completely unauthenticated. Version 11.0.283 patches the issue.
