How to Fix GHSA-hxhc-wmg8-xrqf

To remediate this vulnerability, upgrade all affected Namshi/jose dependencies to a patched release. Both direct and transitive dependencies should be checked, as frameworks or security libraries may pull in vulnerable versions transitively.

namshi/jose fixed: 1.1.2 
Upgrade namshi/jose to 1.1.2
namshi/jose fixed: 1.2.2 
Upgrade namshi/jose to 1.2.2
namshi/jose fixed: 2.0.3 
Upgrade namshi/jose to 2.0.3
namshi/jose fixed: 2.1.2 
Upgrade namshi/jose to 2.1.2
Verify Direct and Transitive Dependencies

Run the following command in your project directory to verify that all resolved dependencies use the patched release: 

inspect dependencies for namshi/jose

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your application is affected by GHSA-hxhc-wmg8-xrqf, inspect your project dependencies for Namshi/jose:

inspect dependencies for namshi/jose

Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of Namshi/jose in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 1.1.2), your application is affected.

Note: Verify declared build manifests and deployed runtime container environments.

Technical Details

Vulnerability Mechanism & Technical Analysis

This vulnerability is classified under General Security Weakness. In Namshi/jose, software state validation or input boundaries are circumvented during processing. Review the official source advisory statement below for specific affected components, classes, and reproduction details.

Source Advisory Statement

namshi/jose allows the acceptance of unsecure JSON Web Signatures (JWS) by default. The vulnerability arises from the $allowUnsecure flag, which, when set to true during the loading of JWSes, permits tokens signed with 'none' algorithms to be processed. This behavior poses a significant security risk as it could allow an attacker to impersonate users by crafting a valid jwt token.
