- python-authlib - Python library for building OAuth and OpenID Connect servers
Details
Jay Neiva and Mauro Carrillo discovered that Authlib did not properly
validate cryptographic keys embedded in JWT headers. An attacker could
possibly use this issue to forge trusted tokens, resulting in
authentication and authorization bypass. (CVE-2026-27962)
Jay Neiva and Mauro Carrillo discovered that Authlib incorrectly handled
RSA1_5 encrypted tokens. An attacker could possibly use this issue to
recover sensitive encrypted information, resulting in information
disclosure. (CVE-2026-28490)
Jay Neiva and Mauro Carrillo discovered that Authlib did not properly
reject unsupported cryptographic algorithms when validating OpenID
Connect ID tokens. An attacker could possibly use this issue to bypass
token integrity checks, resulting in authentication bypass.

(CVE-2026-28498)
Johnny Deuss discovered that Authlib did not provide cross-site request
forgery protection for the OAuth cache feature in its Starlette
integration. An attacker could possibly use this issue to perform
unauthorized OAuth actions, resulting in cross-site request forgery.
This issue only affected Ubuntu 24.04 LTS and Ubuntu 26.04 LTS.
