CVE-2020-15240: Improper Verification of Cryptographic Signature

October 21, 2020 (updated November 18, 2021)

omniauth-auth0 improperly validates the JWT token signature when using the jwt_validator.verify method. Improper validation of the JWT token signature can allow an attacker to bypass authentication and authorization. Impact is limited to the cases where you are using omniauth-auth0 and using the JWTValidator.verify method directly, or you are not authenticating using the SDK’s default Authorization Code Flow.
