What to check before you trust one

  • alg: none accepted anywhere is a full authentication bypass.
  • An RS256 token that a server also accepts as HS256 can be forged with the public key as the secret.
  • Short exp windows and a kid you control are worth more than a long claim list.
  • Claims are not authorization. Check them server-side on every request, not in the client.
