PyJWKClient unbounded JWKS endpoint requests via attacker-controlled kid values (DoS)
CVE-2026-48524 / GHSA-fhv5-28vv-h8m8
More information
Details
Summary
PyJWKClient.get_signing_key() forces a fresh HTTP request to the JWKS endpoint for every JWT with an unknown kid value, with no rate limiting. Since kid comes from the unverified token header, an attacker can trigger unlimited outbound requests.
Additionally, fetch_data() finally block clears the JWKS cache on network error.
Root Cause
jwt/jwks_client.py:172-198 - get_signing_key(kid) calls get_signing_keys(refresh=True) for unknown kids, bypassing TTL cache with no cooldown.
jwt/jwks_client.py:120-122 - finally block writes None to cache on error, clearing valid data.
