JSON web tokens (JWTs) have become the preferred method for authentication by many organizations. They’re easy to implement, making them a popular choice for securing APIs and web applications. However, if not properly managed, JWTs can introduce security vulnerabilities, putting your systems at risk. You’ve probably used them yourself. But have you implemented and handled them securely? A  blog post from Akamai  highlighted several common security vulnerabilities associated with JWTs. It was a wake-up call to the potential risks of improperly managing your JWTs. In this blog post, I want to build on this, focusing on an additional vulnerability that is often overlooked: non-expiring JWTs. We’ll look at how this issue arises along with the associated security vulnerabilities. Then I’ll offer some guidance so you’ll know how to protect yourself from these security vulnerabilities. Before we dive in, let’s briefly review the JWT vulnerabilities highlighted in the blog post I noted above.…
