[5.0.0] - 2015-04-11

Changed

• [sign] Only set defautl iat if the user does not specify that argument.

Security

• [verify] Update to jws@^3.0.0 and renaming header.alg mismatch exception to invalid algorithm and adding more mismatch tests.

As jws@3.0.0 changed the verify method signature to be jws.verify(signature, algorithm, secretOrKey), the token header must be decoded first in order to make sure that the alg field matches one of the allowed options.algorithms. After that, the now validated header.alg is passed to jws.verify

As the order of steps has changed, the error that was thrown when the JWT was invalid is no longer the jws one:

{ [Error: Invalid token: no header in signature 'a.b.c'] code: 'MISSING_HEADER', signature: 'a.b.c' }

That old error (removed from jws) has been replaced by a JsonWebTokenError with message invalid token.

Important: versions >= 4.2.2 this library are safe to use but we decided to deprecate everything < 5.0.0 to prevent security warnings from library node-jws when doing npm install.

[4.2.2] - 2015-03-26

Fixed

• [asymmetric-keys] Fix verify for RSAPublicKey formated keys (jfromaniello - awlayton) https://github.com/auth0/node-jsonwebtoken/commit/402794663b9521bf602fcc6f2e811e7d3912f9dc https://github.com/auth0/node-jsonwebtoken/commit/8df6aabbc7e1114c8fb3917931078254eb52c222

[4.2.1] - 2015-03-17

Fixed

• [asymmetric-keys] Fixed issue when public key starts with BEING PUBLIC KEY (https://github.com/auth0/node-jsonwebtoken/issues/70) (jfromaniello) https://github.com/auth0/node-jsonwebtoken/commit/7017e74db9b194448ff488b3e16468ada60c4ee5

[4.2.0] - 2015-03-16

Security

• [asymmetric-keys] Making sure a token signed with an asymmetric key will be verified using a asymmetric key. When the verification part was expecting a token digitally signed with an asymmetric key (RS/ES family) of algorithms an attacker could send a token signed with a symmetric algorithm (HS* family).

The issue was caused because the same signature was used to verify both type of tokens (verify method parameter: secretOrPublicKey).

This change adds a new parameter to the verify called algorithms. This can be used to specify a list of supported algorithms, but the default value depends on the secret used: if the secretOrPublicKey contains the string BEGIN CERTIFICATE the default is [ 'RS256','RS384','RS512','ES256','ES384','ES512' ] otherwise is [ 'HS256','HS384','HS512' ].
