NewCVE-2025-65945 (opens in a new tab)How to fix?
A fix was pushed into the master branch but not yet published.
Overview
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Improper Verification of Cryptographic Signature via the createVerify function when using HS256 HMAC algorithms and incorporating user-provided data from the JSON Web Signature Protected Header or Payload in HMAC secret lookup routines. An attacker can bypass signature verification by manipulating the header or payload to influence the secret lookup process.
Note:
This is only exploitable if the application uses the createVerify function for HMAC algorithms - and not the jws.verify() interface - and relies on user-provided data from the header or payload in secret lookup routines.
