CVE-2025-27371
In certain IETF OAuth 2.0-related specifications, when the JSON Web Token Profile for OAuth 2.0 Client Authentication mechanism is used, there are ambiguities in the audience values of JWTs sent to authorization servers.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.34%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
