CVE-2018-15801: Insufficient Verification of Data Authenticity

December 19, 2018 (updated October 9, 2019)

Spring Security contains an authorization bypass vulnerability during JWT issuer validation. In order to be impacted, the same private key for an honest issuer and a malicious user must be used when signing JWTs. In that case, a malicious user could fashion signed JWTs with the malicious issuer URL that may be granted for the honest issuer.
