CVE-2022-23539 @ Npm-jsonwebtoken-5.0.0

[westonphillips]

Vulnerable Package issue exists @ Npm-jsonwebtoken-5.0.0 in branch main

Versions prior to 9.0.0 jsonwebtoken library could be misconfigured so that legacy, insecure key types are used for signature verification. For example, DSA keys could be used with the RS256 algorithm. You are affected if you are using an algorithm and a key type other than a combination listed in the Security Advisory as unaffected. This version validates for asymmetric key type and algorithm combinations. Please refer to the above mentioned algorithm / key type combinations for the valid secure configuration. After updating to version 9.0.0, if you still intend to continue with signing or verifying tokens using invalid key type/algorithm value combinations, you’ll need to set the allowInvalidAsymmetricKeyTypes option to true in the sign() and/or verify() functions.
