python-authlib: Authlib is a Python library which builds OAuth and OpenID Connect servers
CVE-2026-27962 is fixed in 3 products on 1 platform, first by python3-authlib 0.15.5-1ubuntu0.1~esm2, released March 16, 2026. It is not reported as exploited. Patch Radar priority: Urgent.
Authlib is a Python library which builds OAuth and OpenID Connect servers. Prior to version 1.6.9, a JWK Header Injection vulnerability in authlib's JWS implementation allows an unauthenticated attacker to forge arbitrary JWT tokens that pass signature verification. When key=None is passed to any JWS deserialization function, the library extracts and uses the cryptographic key embedded in the attacker-controlled JWT jwk header field. An attacker can sign a token with their own private key, embed the matching public key in the header, and have the server accept the forged token as cryptographically valid — bypassing authentication and authorization entirely. This issue has been patched in version 1.6.9.
