CVE-2021-44878 (GCVE-0-2021-44878)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2022-01-06 12:52 – Updated: 2024-08-04 04:32

Summary

If an OpenID Connect provider supports the "none" algorithm (i.e., tokens with no signature), pac4j v5.3.0 (and prior) does not refuse it without an explicit configuration on its side or for the "idtoken" response type which is not secure and violates the OpenID Core Specification. The "none" algorithm does not require any signature verification when validating the ID tokens, which allows the attacker to bypass the token validation by injecting a malformed ID token using "none" as the value of "alg" key in the header with an empty signature value.

Severity

GHSA-XHW6-HJC9-679M

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2022-01-08 00:36 – Updated: 2023-09-26 17:27

Summary

Pac4j token validation bypass if OpenID Connect provider supports none algorithm

Details

If an OpenID Connect provider supports the “none” algorithm (i.e., tokens with no signature), pac4j v5.3.0 (and prior) does not refuse it without an explicit configuration on its side or for the “idtoken” response type which is not secure and violates the OpenID Core Specification. The "none" algorithm does not require any signature verification when validating the ID tokens, which allows the attacker to bypass the token validation by injecting a malformed ID token using "none" as the value of "alg" key in the header with an empty signature value.

Severity

7.5 (High)

The \"none\" algorithm does not require any signature verification when validating the ID tokens, which allows the attacker to bypass the token validation by injecting a malformed ID token using \"none\" as the value of \"alg\" key in the header with an empty signature value."
