PyJWT: PyJWKClient follows redirects when fetching JWKS
Summary
PyJWT 2.13.0 PyJWKClient followed HTTP redirects while fetching a JWKS,
without validating the redirect destination. A configured trusted endpoint
could therefore redirect the client to a different host.
Impact
When an application uses PyJWKClient with caller-supplied request headers and
an attacker can influence the configured endpoint's response, the redirected
request could expose those headers and the redirected response could be used as
authoritative key material. This could cause JWKS trust poisoning and, in
affected mixed-configuration applications, forged JWT acceptance. The issue
requires an attacker-influenced redirect from the configured JWKS endpoint; it
is not triggered by a token kid alone.
Affected versions
PyJWT <= 2.13.0.
Fix
The issue is fixed on master in commit
0a795b8e1f6ef08f634aa7086fc41cc6d5ce3e56.
PyJWKClient now disables automatic redirects for JWKS fetches. Regression
tests verify that a redirect is rejected without contacting its destination,
while normal fetches, headers, caching, errors, timeouts, and SSL context remain
covered.
The fix is present in the unreleased development branch. The patched version will be recorded after a released PyJWT 2.x version containing the fix is confirmed.

Maintainer update — 2026-09-11
The verified fix for this advisory is included in PyJWT 2.14.0, released on 2026-09-11 and available on PyPI. PyJWT 2.14.0 is the first release containing the fix. This advisory is now published with 2.14.0 recorded as the patched version.
