CyberRota Analysis
AI-GeneratedA vulnerability in Kong API Gateway Enterprise allows unauthenticated remote attackers to exploit improper JWT signature verification during MCP OAuth2 or DataKit integrations. This flaw can enable attackers to forge valid JWTs, resulting in authentication bypass and compromising the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the system. Organizations using Kong API Gateway should prioritize addressing this issue to safeguard their authentication mechanisms.
Original NVD Description
A JWT signature verification vulnerability affects Kong components that perform JWT validation for MCP OAuth2 or DataKit integrations inside Kong API Gateway Enterprise. The affected code does not properly validate that the JWT signing algorithm is compatible with the type of key used for verification. As a result, an unauthenticated remote attacker may be able to craft a forged JWT that is incorrectly accepted as valid, leading to authentication bypass and potential compromise of confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
