Security Issue - Authorization bypass

Author: davitdarsaliaCreated May 20, 2022Updated May 20, 2022

While merging branches, Github throws me the security alert message shown below.

Severity is 7.5/10.

"jwt-go 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. There is no patch available and users of jwt-go are advised to migrate to golang-jwt at version 3.2.1" Screenshot 2022-05-21 at 00 09 11 Screenshot 2022-05-21 at 00 09 22
