CVE-2026-102946— joserfc: JWS signature verification bypass via empty signatures array in jws.deserialize_json

Quick assessment

Affected
authlib joserfc
Exploitation
No confirmed in-the-wild exploitation; assess based on exposure
Recommended action
Check the vendor advisory and references for a fixed version. If immediate upgrade is impossible, restrict exposure and increase monitoring.

joserfc 是一个 Python 库,提供了多种 JSON 对象签名与加密(JOSE)标准的实现。在版本 1.7.4 之前, 函数会将带有空 signatures 数组的 JWS 通用 JSON 序列化合视为已通过身份验证。 函数在处理空数组时不会执行任何迭代,并因“没有签名验证失败”而返回成功,这使得攻击者无需拥有签名密钥即可提供任意载荷,而依赖该载荷的应用程序可能将其视为真实有效的内容。该问题仅影响通用 JSON 序列化路径;紧凑格式 JWS 和 JWT 解码、扁平化 JSON 序列化以及 JWE JSON

Vulnerability Title
joserfc: JWS signature verification bypass via empty signatures array in jws.deserialize_json
Source: CVE Program / CVE List V5
Vulnerability Description
joserfc is a Python library that provides an implementation of several JSON Object Signing and Encryption (JOSE) standards. Prior to 1.7.4, joserfc.jws.deserialize_json() accepts a JWS General JSON Serialization with an empty signatures array as authenticated. The verify_general_json() loop performs no iterations for the empty array and returns success because no signature check failed, allowing an attacker without a signing key to supply an arbitrary payload that relying applications may treat as authentic. The issue affects the General JSON Serialization path; compact JWS and JWT decoding, Flattened JSON serialization, and JWE JSON processing do not follow this vulnerable path. This issue is fixed in version 1.7.4.
