CVE-2016-10555 (GCVE-0-2016-10555)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2018-05-31 20:00 – Updated: 2024-09-16 16:38
VLAI?
Summary
Since "algorithm" isn't enforced in jwt.decode()in jwt-simple 0.3.0 and earlier, a malicious user could choose what algorithm is sent sent to the server. If the server is expecting RSA but is sent HMAC-SHA with RSA's public key, the server will think the public key is actually an HMAC private key. This could be used to forge any data an attacker wants.
Severity ?
No CVSS data available.
