Short explanation
A vulnerability in the Authlib library causes the default JWT bearer grant implementation to accept incorrect audience claims, enabling the acquisition of unauthorized access tokens.
Attackers can present a valid assertion intended for another service to a target server sharing the signing key, crossing trust boundaries and gaining unauthorized access.
What should be done?
- Upgrading to version 1.9.0 or later
- Overriding get_audiences() with valid audience identifiers
- Following the vendor security advisory guidance
Chain of evidence and sources
Authlib 1.9.0 öncesi sürümlerde JWTBearerGrant.get_audiences() metodu boş liste döndürür.
Saldırganlar başka bir servis için düzenlenen geçerli iddiayı sunarak erişim tokeni elde edebilir.
get_audiences() metodunu doğru kimliklerle ezen uygulamalar etkilenmemektedir.
Show the technical text from the sources
Authlib is a Python library which builds OAuth and OpenID Connect servers. Prior to 1.9.0, the default RFC 7523 JWTBearerGrant.get_audiences() returns an empty list, causing JWTBearerGrant.verify_claims() to require only that an aud claim exists without matching the current authorization server. An attacker holding a legitimate assertion for another service can present it to a server that shares the signing key and uses the default grant, obtaining an access token across a trust boundary. Implementations that override get_audiences() with the server's valid audience identifiers are not affected. This issue is fixed in version 1.9.0.
