# CVE-2024-51744: golang-github-golang-jwt-jwt: golang-jwt is a Go implementation of JSON Web Tokens CVE-2024-51744 is fixed in 14 products on 1 platform, first by DEBIAN-CVE-2024-51744, released November 4, 2024. It is not reported as exploited. Patch Radar priority: Routine. - Web page: https://patchblox.com/security/cve/CVE-2024-51744 - Priority: Routine - CVSS: 3.1 (low) - EPSS: 0.0059 - CISA KEV: not listed - Exploited (vendor report): no - Publicly disclosed: no - Published: Nov 4, 2024 ## Description golang-jwt is a Go implementation of JSON Web Tokens. Unclear documentation of the error behavior in `ParseWithClaims` can lead to situation where users are potentially not checking errors in the way they should be. Especially, if a token is both expired and invalid, the errors returned by `ParseWithClaims` return both error codes. If users only check for the `jwt.ErrTokenExpired ` using `error.Is`, they will ignore the embedded `jwt.ErrTokenSignatureInvalid` and thus potentially accept invalid tokens. A fix has been back-ported with the error handling logic from the `v5` branch to the `v4` branch. In this logic, the `ParseWithClaims` function will immediately return in "dangerous" situations (e.g., an invalid signature), limiting the combined errors only to situations where the signature is valid, but further validation failed (e.g., if the signature is valid, but is expired AND has the wrong audience). This fix is part of the 4.5.1 release. We are aware that this changes the behaviour of an established function and is not 100 % backwards compatible, so updating to 4.5.1 might break your code. In case you cannot update to 4.5.0, please make sure that you are properly checking for all errors ("dangerous" ones first), so that you are not running in the case detailed above. ## Where it's fixed | Platform | Product | Fixed in | Fix | Released | |---|---|---|---|---| | Linux | coredns opensuse-leap 15.6 | 1.12.1-bp156.4.6.5 | [OPENSUSE-SU-2025:0131-1](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/opensuse-su-2025-0131-1.md) | Apr 19, 2025 | | Linux | coredns opensuse-leap 16.0 | 1.14.0-bp160.1.1 | [OPENSUSE-SU-2026:20099-1](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/opensuse-su-2026-20099-1.md) | Jan 24, 2026 | | Linux | cosign opensuse-leap 15.6 | 2.5.0-150400.3.27.1 | [SUSE-SU-2025:1333-1](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/suse-su-2025-1333-1.md) | Apr 17, 2025 | | Linux | cosign sles 15.6 | 2.5.0-150400.3.27.1 | [SUSE-SU-2025:1333-1](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/suse-su-2025-1333-1.md) | Apr 17, 2025 | | Linux | docker amzn 2023 | 25.0.8-1.amzn2023.0.1 | [ALAS2023-2025-852](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/alas2023-2025-852.md) | Feb 12, 2025 | | Linux | docker-debuginfo amzn 2023 | 25.0.8-1.amzn2023.0.1 | [ALAS2023-2025-852](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/alas2023-2025-852.md) | Feb 12, 2025 | | Linux | docker-debugsource amzn 2023 | 25.0.8-1.amzn2023.0.1 | [ALAS2023-2025-852](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/alas2023-2025-852.md) | Feb 12, 2025 | | Linux | dracut-saltboot opensuse-leap 15.6 | 0.1.1728559936.c16d4fb-150000.1.56.1 | [SUSE-SU-2025:0525-1](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/suse-su-2025-0525-1.md) | Feb 14, 2025 | | Linux | golang-github-golang-jwt-jwt Debian 13.5 (trixie) | 5.0.0+really4.5.2-1 | [DEBIAN-CVE-2024-51744](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/debian-cve-2024-51744.md) | Nov 4, 2024 | | Linux | golang-github-golang-jwt-jwt Debian 14 | 5.0.0+really4.5.2-1 | [DEBIAN-CVE-2024-51744](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/debian-cve-2024-51744.md) | Nov 4, 2024 | | Linux | golang-github-prometheus-prometheus opensuse-leap 15.6 | 2.53.3-150100.4.23.1 | [SUSE-SU-2025:0546-1](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/suse-su-2025-0546-1.md) | Feb 14, 2025 | | Linux | golang-github-prometheus-prometheus sles 15.6 | 2.53.3-150100.4.23.1 | [SUSE-SU-2025:0546-1](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/suse-su-2025-0546-1.md) | Feb 14, 2025 | | Linux | golang-github-prometheus-promu opensuse-leap 15.6 | 0.17.0-150000.3.24.1 | [SUSE-SU-2025:0525-1](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/suse-su-2025-0525-1.md) | Feb 14, 2025 | | Linux | golang-github-prometheus-promu sles 15.6 | 0.17.0-150000.3.24.1 | [SUSE-SU-2025:0525-1](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/suse-su-2025-0525-1.md) | Feb 14, 2025 | | Linux | govulncheck-vulndb opensuse-leap 15.6 | 0.0.20241112T145010-150000.1.17.1 | [SUSE-SU-2024:4042-1](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/suse-su-2024-4042-1.md) | Nov 22, 2024 | | Linux | govulncheck-vulndb sles 15.6 | 0.0.20241112T145010-150000.1.17.1 | [SUSE-SU-2024:4042-1](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/suse-su-2024-4042-1.md) | Nov 22, 2024 | | Linux | runfinch-finch amzn 2023 | 1.6.0-1.amzn2023.0.1 | [ALAS2023-2025-834](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/alas2023-2025-834.md) | Jan 30, 2025 | | Linux | spacecmd opensuse-leap 15.6 | 5.0.11-150000.3.130.1 | [SUSE-SU-2025:0525-1](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/suse-su-2025-0525-1.md) | Feb 14, 2025 | | Linux | supportutils-plugin-salt opensuse-leap 15.6 | 1.2.3-150000.3.16.1 | [SUSE-SU-2025:0525-1](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/suse-su-2025-0525-1.md) | Feb 14, 2025 | | Linux | supportutils-plugin-salt sles 15.6 | 1.2.3-150000.3.16.1 | [SUSE-SU-2025:0525-1](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/suse-su-2025-0525-1.md) | Feb 14, 2025 | | Linux | supportutils-plugin-susemanager-client opensuse-leap 15.6 | 5.0.4-150000.3.27.1 | [SUSE-SU-2025:0525-1](https://patchblox.com/security/data/fix/linux/suse-su-2025-0525-1.md) | Feb 14, 2025 | --- Data as of 2026-11-09T01:18:40Z UTC.
