| Vetor | AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:N |
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
PyJWT versions 1.5.0 and below
Description
The issue concerns a symmetric/asymmetric key confusion attack. In PyJWT, the
invalid strings check in HMACAlgorithm.prepare key does not account for all PEM encoded public keys, specifically the PKCS1 PEM encoded format. This allows an attacker to craft JWTs from scratch when using the PKCS1 PEM encoded public keys.Recommendations
For PyJWT versions 1.5.0 and below, consider updating to a version above 1.5.0 to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, restrict the use of PKCS1 PEM encoded public keys to minimize the risk of exploitation. Avoid using the
HMACAlgorithm.prepare key function with PKCS1 PEM encoded public keys until the issue is resolved.Correção
