The affected code does not properly validate that the JWT signing algorithm is compatible with the type of key used for verification.\n\n\n\nAs a result, an unauthenticated remote attacker may be able to craft a forged JWT that is incorrectly accepted as valid, leading to authentication bypass and potential compromise of confidentiality, integrity, and availability.","published":"2026-09-16T11:16:41.000Z","lastModified":"2026-09-18T19:07:38.000Z","status":"Awaiting Analysis","sourceIdentifier":"02762ae7-200e-4b20-9b2b-a77d5b8fc4cb","cvss":{"version":"4.0","score":7.7,"severity":"HIGH","vector":"CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:N/SC:H/SI:N/SA:N/E:X/CR:X/IR:X/AR:X/MAV:X/MAC:X/MAT:X/MPR:X/MUI:X/MVC:X/M"},"cwe":["CWE-241"],"affected":[],"epss":{"score":0.00697,"percentile":0.52864,"date":"2026-10-27","history":[]},"kev":{"listed":false},"exploits":{"count":0,"verified":false,"firstPublished":null,"source":"Exploit-DB (https://gitlab.com/exploit-database/exploitdb)","entries":[]},"verdict":{"level":"high","text":"High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (0.70%).
