- [verify] Update to jws@^3.0.0 and renaming
header.alg
mismatch exception toinvalid algorithm
and adding more mismatch tests.
As [email protected]
changed the verify method signature to be jws.verify(signature, algorithm, secretOrKey)
, the token header must be decoded first in order to make sure that the alg
field matches one of the allowed options.algorithms
. After that, the now validated header.alg
is passed to jws.verify
As the order of steps has changed, the error that was thrown when the JWT was invalid is no longer the jws
one:
{ [Error: Invalid token: no header in signature 'a.b.c'] code: 'MISSING_HEADER', signature: 'a.b.c' }
That old error (removed from jws) has been replaced by a JsonWebTokenError
with message invalid token
.
Important: versions >= 4.2.2 this library are safe to use but we decided to deprecate everything
< 5.0.0
to prevent security warnings from librarynode-jws
when doingnpm install
.

- [asymmetric-keys] Fixed issue when public key starts with BEING PUBLIC KEY (auth0#70) (

- [asymmetric-keys] Making sure a token signed with an asymmetric key will be verified using a asymmetric key. When the verification part was expecting a token digitally signed with an asymmetric key (RS/ES family) of algorithms an attacker could send a token signed with a symmetric algorithm (HS* family).
The issue was caused because the same signature was used to verify both type of tokens (verify
method parameter: secretOrPublicKey
).
This change adds a new parameter to the verify called algorithms
. This can be used to specify a list of supported algorithms, but the default value depends on the secret used: if the secretOrPublicKey contains the string BEGIN CERTIFICATE
the default is [ 'RS256','RS384','RS512','ES256','ES384','ES512' ]
otherwise is [ 'HS256','HS384','HS512' ]
