What is CVE-2018-0114?
The Cisco node-jose library prior to version 0.11.0 contains a vulnerability that allows an unauthenticated remote attacker to re-sign JSON Web Signature (JWS) tokens. This stems from the library's compliance with the JSON Web Signature standards, which allows a JSON Web Key (JWK) embedding within the token header. By exploiting this vulnerability, an attacker could remove the original signature, inject a different public key, and subsequently sign the object with their own private key, thereby creating forged valid JWS objects.
