The remote Ubuntu 22.04 LTS / 24.04 LTS host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-8065-1 advisory.

    Millie Solem discovered that Authlib did not properly restrict algorithm selection during JWT     verification, allowing HMAC verification with asymmetric public keys when no algorithm was specified. A     remote attacker could possibly use this issue to bypass signature verification and forge tokens, resulting     in authentication bypass or privilege escalation. (CVE-2024-37568)

    Muhammad Noman Ilyas discovered that Authlib did not properly enforce critical header parameter handling     during JSON Web Signature verification, leading to unknown critical parameters being incorrectly accepted.
    A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to bypass security policies in mixed deployments,     resulting in authentication bypass, replay attacks, or privilege escalation. (CVE-2025-59420)

    Muhammad Noman Ilyas discovered that Authlib did not properly limit the size of JSON Web Signature or JSON     Web Token header and signature segments. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause     excessive memory or processor consumption, leading to a denial of service. (CVE-2025-61920)

    Muhammad Noman Ilyas discovered that Authlib performed unbounded decompression when processing certain     compressed encrypted tokens. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to send a specially crafted     token that can be expanded to a large size during decompression, causing a denial of service.
    (CVE-2025-62706)

    It was discovered that Authlib did not properly bind cached state information to the initiating user     session during OAuth authentication flows. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to perform     cross- site request forgery attacks, resulting in unauthorized actions or authentication bypass. This     issue only affected Ubuntu 24.04 LTS. (CVE-2025-68158)

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

  - lepture Authlib before 1.3.1 has algorithm confusion with asymmetric public keys. Unless an algorithm is     specified in a jwt.decode call, HMAC verification is allowed with any asymmetric public key. (This is     similar to CVE-2022-29217 and CVE-2024-33663.) (CVE-2024-37568)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.

The remote Debian 11 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the dla-4352 advisory.

    Multiple vulnerabilities have been found in python-authlib, a Python     library for OAuth and OpenID Connect servers.

    CVE-2024-37568

        Unless an algorithm is specified in a jwt.decode call, HMAC verification         is allowed with any asymmetric public key.

    CVE-2025-59420

        Authlibs JWS verification accepts tokens that declare unknown critical         header parameters (crit), violating RFC 7515 mustunderstand semantics.
        An attacker can craft a signed token with a critical header that strict         verifiers reject but Authlib accepts. In mixedlanguage fleets, this         enables splitbrain verification and can lead to policy bypass, replay,         or privilege escalation.

    CVE-2025-61920

        Authlibs JOSE implementation accepts unbounded JWS/JWT header and         signature segments which can lead to a DoS during verification.

    CVE-2025-62706

        Authlibs JWE zip=DEF path performs unbounded DEFLATE decompression         which can lead to a DoS.


    For Debian 11 bullseye, these problems have been fixed in version     0.15.4-1+deb11u1.

    We recommend that you upgrade your python-authlib packages.
