Overview
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Authorization Bypass Through User-Controlled Key due to improper verification of JSON Web Key (JWK) material in the token authentication process. An attacker can exploit this vulnerability by injecting an untrusted signing key into a JSON Web Token (JWT) when the JWT contains a JWK header without a certificate chain.
