CVE-2025-22149: JWK Set's HTTP client only overwrites and appends JWK to local cache during refresh

January 9, 2025

The project’s provided HTTP client’s local JWK Set cache should do a full replacement when the goroutine refreshes the remote JWK Set. The current behavior is to overwrite or append. This is a security issue for use cases that utilize the provided auto-caching HTTP client and where key removal from a JWK Set is equivalent to revocation.

Example attack scenario:

  1. An attacker has stolen the private key for a key published in JWK Set.
  2. The publishers of that JWK Set remove that key from the JWK Set.
  3. Enough time has passed that the program using the auto-caching HTTP client found in github.com/MicahParks/jwkset v0.5.0-v0.5.21 has elapsed its HTTPClientStorageOptions.RefreshInterval duration, causing a refresh of the remote JWK Set.
  4. The attacker is signing content (such as JWTs) with the stolen private key and the system has no other forms of revocation.
