What is missing or needs to be updated?
After cleanup PR #2283, the content would have to be fleshed out.
How should this be resolved?
Add something about the threats:
- key type confusion (→ added in #2283);
- issuer confusion;
- audience confusion;
- token type (cross-JWT) confusion;
- blindly trusting/following the jwk, jku, x5u, x5t, x5t#S256 header parameters.
Check:
- RFC88725
- RFC88725 bis (draft)
