Описание
ruby-jwt is a Ruby implementation of the RFC 7519 OAuth JSON Web Token standard. Prior to 2.10.3 and 3.2.0, JWT.decode(token, '', true, algorithm: 'HS256') accepts an attacker-forged token because OpenSSL::HMAC.digest('SHA256', '', payload) returns a valid digest under an empty key and no empty-key precondition exists in the HMAC algorithm. The same path is reached when a keyfinder block or key_finder: argument returns an empty string, nil, or an array containing nil for an unknown key, affecting HS256, HS384, and HS512 verification through JWT.decode and JWT::EncodedToken#verify_signature!. This issue is fixed in versions 2.10.3 and 3.2.0.
A flaw was found in ruby-jwt, a Ruby implementation of the RFC 7519 OAuth JSON Web Token (JWT) standard. A remote attacker can exploit this vulnerability by crafting a malicious token that is accepted due to an empty key being used in the HMAC (Hash-based Message Authentication Code) digest calculation during token verification. This allows the attacker to bypass authentication and integrity checks, potentially leading to unauthorized access or data manipulation.
