Hi,

Tim McLean describes an attack vector on JWT-protected services in his
blog post: 
https://auth0.com/blog/critical-vulnerabilities-in-json-web-token-libraries/

The culprit is relying on the algorithm in the JWT header. The
workaround/recommendation is to ignore the algorithm from the header
and use a predefined one.

The current RFC 7519 does not address this vulnerability.
Will this problem be addressed in the standard?

Best regards,
Maciej KwidziƄski
