Vulnerability Details

jwt-go before 4.0.0-preview1 allows attackers to bypass intended access restrictions in situations with []string{} for m["aud"] (which is allowed by the specification). Because the type assertion fails, "" is the value of aud. This is a security problem if the JWT token is presented to a service that lacks its own audience check.

Hi @schmidtw dgrijalva/jwt-go is migrated to golang-jwt/jwt and this issue is fixed in version 3.2.1. Can we upgrade the JWT library?

This should be a straightforward change. It also affects all our other servers except petasos.
