Unauthenticated OIDC parameter injection via unsigned JWE
Published Jul 16, 2026 · Updated Jul 16, 2026
Signature verification bypass in Janssen Project jans-auth-server before 2.0.0 allows remote attackers to inject OIDC request parameters. JwtAuthorizationRequest trusts claims from a JWE containing plain JSON when getSignedJWTPayload returns null, while processRequestObject fails to reject RSA-OAEP as an unrecognized signature algorithm. Reaching the HTTPS authorization endpoint is sufficient; exploitation alters trusted request claims but does not bypass user authentication or steal tokens directly.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
