description

joserfc versions before 1.7.4 can treat a General JSON JWS with an empty signature list as authenticated when processed by jws.deserialize_json(). An unauthenticated attacker may cause a relying application to accept attacker-chosen content as genuine if the application processes untrusted General JSON JWS input through that API.

mitigation

Upgrade the joserfc package to version 1.7.4 or later. Until upgraded, reject General JSON JWS inputs whose signature list is empty before calling jws.deserialize_json().

fixed in 1.7.4
