CVE-2022-23540

Vulnerable Library - jsonwebtoken-8.5.1.tgz

JSON Web Token implementation (symmetric and asymmetric)

  • ❌ jsonwebtoken-8.5.1.tgz (Vulnerable Library)

Found in base branch: main

Vulnerability Details

In versions <=8.5.1 of jsonwebtoken library, lack of algorithm definition in the jwt.verify() function can lead to signature validation bypass due to defaulting to the none algorithm for signature verification. Users are affected if you do not specify algorithms in the jwt.verify() function. This issue has been fixed, please update to version 9.0.0 which removes the default support for the none algorithm in the jwt.verify() method. There will be no impact, if you update to version 9.0.0 and you don’t need to allow for the none algorithm. If you need 'none' algorithm, you have to explicitly specify that in jwt.verify() options.

CVE-2022-23539

Vulnerable Library - jsonwebtoken-8.5.1.tgz

JSON Web Token implementation (symmetric and asymmetric)

Path to dependency file: /package.json

Path to vulnerable library: /node_modules/jsonwebtoken/package.json

Dependency Hierarchy:

• nexmo-2.9.1.tgz (Root Library)
  • ❌ jsonwebtoken-8.5.1.tgz (Vulnerable Library)

Found in base branch: main

Vulnerability Details

Versions <=8.5.1 of jsonwebtoken library could be misconfigured so that legacy, insecure key types are used for signature verification. For example, DSA keys could be used with the RS256 algorithm. You are affected if you are using an algorithm and a key type other than a combination listed in the GitHub Security Advisory as unaffected. This issue has been fixed, please update to version 9.0.0. This version validates for asymmetric key type and algorithm combinations. Please refer to the above mentioned algorithm / key type combinations for the valid secure configuration. After updating to version 9.0.0, if you still intend to continue with signing or verifying tokens using invalid key type/algorithm value combinations, you’ll need to set the allowInvalidAsymmetricKeyTypes option to true in the sign() and/or verify() functions.

JSON Web Token implementation (symmetric and asymmetric)

Found in base branch: main

Vulnerability Details

jsonwebtoken is an implementation of JSON Web Tokens. Versions <= 8.5.1 of jsonwebtoken library can be misconfigured so that passing a poorly implemented key retrieval function referring to the secretOrPublicKey argument from the readme link will result in incorrect verification of tokens. There is a possibility of using a different algorithm and key combination in verification, other than the one that was used to sign the tokens. Specifically, tokens signed with an asymmetric public key could be verified with a symmetric HS256 algorithm. This can lead to successful validation of forged tokens. If your application is supporting usage of both symmetric key and asymmetric key in jwt.verify() implementation with the same key retrieval function. This issue has been patched, please update to version 9.0.0.
