GCVE Workshop - 22 September 2026 (14:00-18:00), Luxembourg Before The Vulnopticon Conference - Registration

GSD-2020-15240

Vulnerability from gsd - Updated: 2020-11-03 00:00
Details
### Overview Versions after and including `2.3.0` are improperly validating the JWT token signature when using the `JWTValidator.verify` method. Improper validation of the JWT token signature when not using the default Authorization Code Flow can allow an attacker to bypass authentication and authorization. ### Am I affected? You are affected by this vulnerability if all of the following conditions apply: - You are using `omniauth-auth0`. - You are using `JWTValidator.verify` method directly OR you are not authenticating using the SDK’s default Authorization Code Flow. ### How to fix that? Upgrade to version `2.4.1`. ### Will this update impact my users? The fix provided in this version will not affect your users.
