{"id":"DEBIAN-CVE-2026-101918","details":"PyJWT is a Python implementation of JSON Web Token standards. From 2.0.0a1 until 2.15.0, PyJWT PyJWKClient.get_signing_key_from_jwt is affected because payload parser catches ValueError but not RecursionError. This occurs when an attacker-controlled recursively nested payload reaches json.loads. As a result, documented PyJWT exception handling does not contain the failure. Consequently, an unauthenticated request can raise an exception that may produce an HTTP 500 response. The advisory-defined affected implementation also includes jwt/api_jwt.py, verify_signature=False. This issue is fixed in version 2.15.0.","modified":"2026-09-30T09:00:07.848784238Z","published":"2026-09-28T21:17:13.410Z","upstream":["CVE-2026-101918"],"references":[{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/CVE-2026-101918"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"pyjwt","ecosystem":"Debian:12","purl":"pkg:deb/debian/pyjwt?arch=source&distro=bookworm"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["2.10.1-1","2.10.1-2","2.10.1-3","2.10.1-4","2.11.0-2","2.12.1-1","2.13.0-1","2.14.0-1","2.15.0-1","2.15.1-1","2.6.0-1","2.6.0-1+deb12u1","2.7.0-1"],"ecosystem_specific":{"urgency":"not yet assigned"},"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/debian-osv/debian-cve-osv/DEBIAN-CVE-2026-101918.json"}},{"package":{"name":"pyjwt","ecosystem":"Debian:13","purl":"pkg:deb/debian/pyjwt?arch=source&distro=trixie"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["2.10.1-2","2.10.1-2+deb13u1","2.10.1-3","2.10.1-4","2.11.0-2","2.12.1-1","2.13.0-1","2.14.0-1","2.15.0-1","2.15.1-1"],"ecosystem_specific":{"urgency":"not yet assigned"},"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/debian-osv/debian-cve-osv/DEBIAN-CVE-2026-101918.json"}},{"package":{"name":"pyjwt","ecosystem":"Debian:14","purl":"pkg:deb/debian/pyjwt?arch=source&distro=forky"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["2.10.1-2","2.10.1-3","2.10.1-4","2.11.0-2","2.12.1-1","2.13.0-1","2.14.0-1","2.15.0-1","2.15.1-1"],"ecosystem_specific":{"urgency":"not yet assigned"},"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/debian-osv/debian-cve-osv/DEBIAN-CVE-2026-101918.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.9.0","severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V3","score":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:L"}]}
