A vulnerability in the Cisco node-jose open source library before 0.11.0 could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to re-sign tokens using a key that is embedded within the token. The vulnerability is due to node-jose following the JSON Web Signature (JWS) standard for JSON Web Tokens (JWTs). This standard specifies that a JSON Web Key (JWK) representing a public key can be embedded within the header of a JWS. This public key is then trusted for verification. An attacker could exploit this by forging valid JWS objects by removing the original signature, adding a new public key to the header, and then signing the object using the (attacker-owned) private key associated with the public key embedded in that JWS header.

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2018-0114 affects Cisco's node-jose library before 0.11.0. In affected use, an attacker could make a token appear valid by placing their own public key in the token header and signing with their matching private key. Business impact depends on whether applications use node-jose to trust JWT/JWS tokens for login, authorization, or API access. Exposure is likely in applications or services using node-jose before 0.11.0 to verify JWT or JWS objects, especially where token claims drive authentication or authorization. The provided bundle does not identify specific downstream applications, deployments, or package dependency paths. Prioritize systems where node-jose protects authentication, authorization, or API access. Public exploit material raises urgency, but remediation priority should be tied to whether affected versions are actually deployed and used for token trust decisions. Mitigation focus: Upgrade node-jose to version 0.11.0 or later.; Check Cisco and project guidance for the exact fixed release and migration notes.; Review JWT/JWS verification logic for trust of embedded JWK headers..
