From 6.2.0 until 6.3.0, fast-jwt can misclassify RSA public-key text as an HMAC secret when the key has non-whitespace content before its PEM header. In src/crypto.js, performDetectPublicKeyAlgorithms trims whitespace but publicKeyPemMatcher remains start-anchored, so comments, control characters, zero-width characters, or wrapper text can prevent PEM detection and reach the HMAC fallback. An attacker who knows the public key bytes can sign arbitrary HS256 claims with that public material when HS256 is inferred or allowed, resulting in authentication or authorization bypass. An asymmetric-only algorithm allowlist prevents the attack. This issue is fixed in version 6.3.0.","state":0,"publishedAt":"2026-10-08T22:17:28.447+00:00","modifiedAt":"2026-10-13T17:17:16.97+00:00","affected":[],"metrics":[{"system":"CVSS 3.1 · security-advisories@github.com · Secondary","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","score":9.8,"severity":"CRITICAL"}],"references":["https://github.com/nearform/fast-jwt/commit/d96bbc6c5336055a6dbfa318fdbab01197264cfa","https://github.com/nearform/fast-jwt/pull/632","https://github.com/nearform/fast-jwt/releases/tag/v6.3.0","https://github.com/nearform/fast-jwt/security/advisories/GHSA-ww5h-9m49-7xx4"],"sourceUrl":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-107722","license":"NIST NVD usage terms; underlying source attribution retained","enrichment":{"sourceStatus":"Deferred","weaknesses":["CWE-347"],"productCriteria":[],"sourceDates":{"published":"2026-10-08T22:17:28.447","lastModified":"2026-10-13T17:17:16.970"},"relatedAdvisories":[],"note":"NVD analysis and CPE criteria are source context, not proof that a package or your environment is affected.
