Overview

CVE-2026-54430 is a known-severity vulnerability. It was published on July 2, 2026.

Technical description

liboauth2 is vulnerable to Server-Side Request Forgery in oauth2_jose_jwks_aws_alb_resolve() function. The AWS ALB verifier reads both signer and kid from the unverified JWT

header. If signer matches the configured ARN, kid is appended to

alb_base_url without URL encoding or path sanitization, and the HTTP GET

is issued before signature verification. This allows an attacker to force

the server to send a GET request to an attacker-chosen internal path.

This issue was fixed in version 2.3.0
