    Use of a Broken or Risky Cryptographic Algorithm

    PyJWT is a Python implementation of RFC 7519.

    Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Use of a Broken or Risky Cryptographic Algorithm via non-blacklisted public key formats, leading to key confusion.

    How to fix Use of a Broken or Risky Cryptographic Algorithm?

    Upgrade PyJWT to version 2.4.0 or higher.

    [1.5.0,2.4.0)

    Authentication Bypass

    pyjwt is a JSON Web Token implementation in Python.

    Affected versions of the package are vulnerable to Authentication Bypass. In PyJWT 1.5.0 and below the invalid_strings check in HMACAlgorithm.prepare_key does not account for all PEM encoded public keys. Specifically, the PKCS1 PEM encoded format would be allowed because it is prefaced with the string -----BEGIN RSA PUBLIC KEY----- which is not accounted for. This enables symmetric/asymmetric key confusion attacks against users using the PKCS1 PEM encoded public keys, which would allow an attacker to craft JWTs from scratch.

    How to fix Authentication Bypass?

    Upgrade pyjwt to version 1.5.1 or higher.
