CVE-2026-35042

HIGH CVSS: 7.5 Published: 2026-04-06 Modified: 2026-06-17

Description

fast-jwt provides fast JSON Web Token (JWT) implementation. In 6.1.0 and earlier, fast-jwt does not validate the crit (Critical) Header Parameter defined in RFC 7515 §4.1.11. When a JWS token contains a crit array listing extensions that fast-jwt does not understand, the library accepts the token instead of rejecting it. This violates the MUST requirement in the RFC.

Affected Platforms

Nearform Fast-Jwt

Weakness Type

CWE-345, CWE-636
