CVE-2026-28802 · Authlib: Setting `alg: none` and a blank signature appears to bypass signature verification
This page contains facts from public vulnerability sources. Check the original advisory before updating.
Authlib is a Python library which builds OAuth and OpenID Connect servers. From version 1.6.5 to before version 1.6.7, previous tests involving passing a malicious JWT containing alg: none and an empty signature was passing the signature verification step without any changes to the application code when a failure was expected.. This issue has been patched in version 1.6.7.
