Found in base branch: main

Vulnerability Details

node-jsonwebtoken is a JsonWebToken implementation for node.js. For versions <= 8.5.1 of jsonwebtoken library, if a malicious actor has the ability to modify the key retrieval parameter (referring to the secretOrPublicKey argument from the readme link of the jwt.verify() function, they can write arbitrary files on the host machine. Users are affected only if untrusted entities are allowed to modify the key retrieval parameter of the jwt.verify() on a host that you control. This issue has been fixed, please update to version 9.0.0.

Vulnerable Library - jsonwebtoken-8.5.1.tgz

JSON Web Token implementation (symmetric and asymmetric)

Library home page: https://registry.npmjs.org/jsonwebtoken/-/jsonwebtoken-8.5.1.tgz

Path to dependency file: /package.json

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

Dependency Hierarchy:

• octokit-2.0.10.tgz (Root Library)
  • app-13.0.11.tgz

        • ❌ 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.
