CVE-2022-29266
In APache APISIX before 3.13.1, the jwt-auth plugin has a security issue that leaks the user's secret key because the error message returned from the dependency lua-resty-jwt contains sensitive information.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (8.14%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
