description

LibJWT versions 3.0.0 through 3.6.1 may accept attacker-created unsigned JWS tokens under vulnerable keyring or verification-callback configurations. An attacker can bypass token authentication and supply arbitrary claims when the application does not restrict verification algorithms and uses an affected configuration.

mitigation

Upgrade LibJWT to version 3.6.2. Until upgraded, allowlist expected algorithms with jwt_checker_setalgs() where supported, reject callback key-lookup failures, and configure an explicit expected algorithm rather than JWT_ALG_NONE.

fixed in 3.6.2
