JSON Web Tokens (JWTs), a popular method of securely transmitting information
|
||
|
|
between parties as a JSON object, can become a significant security risk when
|
||
|
|
they are not properly signed with a robust cipher algorithm, left unsigned
|
||
|
|
altogether, or if the signature is not verified.
|
||
|
|
This vulnerability class allows malicious actors to craft fraudulent tokens,
|
||
|
|
effectively impersonating user identities. In essence, the integrity of a JWT
|
||
|
|
hinges on the strength and presence of its signature.
