CVE-2025-59936

9.4 · CRITICAL
Published Sep 27, 2025 CWE-116 EPSS 0.40% (34th pctl)

Overview

CVE-2025-59936 is a critical-severity vulnerability. It was published on September 27, 2025 and has a CVSS 3.0 base score of 9.4 (CRITICAL).

This vulnerability has a CVSS 3.0 base score of 9.4, rated CRITICAL. It can be exploited remotely over the network. No authentication or special privileges are required for exploitation.

Technical Description

get-jwks contains fetch utils for JWKS keys. In versions prior to 11.0.2, a vulnerability in get-jwks can lead to cache poisoning in the JWKS key-fetching mechanism. When the iss (issuer) claim is validated only after keys are retrieved from the cache, it is possible for cached keys from an unexpected issuer to be reused, resulting in a bypass of issuer validation. This design flaw enables a potential attack where a malicious actor crafts a pair of JWTs, the first one ensuring that a chosen public key is fetched and stored in the shared JWKS cache, and the second one leveraging that cached key to pass signature validation for a targeted iss value. The vulnerability will work only if the iss validation is done after the use of get-jwks for keys retrieval. This issue has been patched in version 11.0.2.
