SUSE CVE-2017-11424

In PyJWT 1.5.0 and below the invalidstrings check in HMACAlgorithm.preparekey does not account for all PEM encoded public keys. Specifically, the PKCS1 PEM encoded format would be allowed because it is prefaced with the string -----BEGIN RSA PUBLIC KEY----- which is not accounted for. This enable...

Key Confusion Attacks

PyJWT is vulnerable to asymmetric/symmetric key confusion attacks. PKCS1 PEM keys that begin with -----BEGIN RSA PUBLIC KEY----- will not be rejected by the invalidstrings check in HMACAlgorithm.preparekey. Using this flaw, attackers can cause symmetric/asymmetric confusion and create JWTs from...
