      <title>CVE-2026-114616 — Authlib accepts an empty HMAC key, allowing JWS/JWT signature forgery (HS256/HS384/HS512)</title>
      <link>https://db.gcve.eu/vuln/cve-2026-114616</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Affected:&lt;/strong&gt; authlib&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Authlib is a Python library which builds OAuth and OpenID Connect servers. Prior to 1.9.1, Authlib&amp;#39;s OctKey.import_key() and HMAC signing and verification path accept zero-length key material. If an application&amp;#39;s secret lookup can return an empty string or empty bytes, a remote attacker can compute the deterministic HS256, HS384, or HS512 signature for arbitrary token claims and have Authlib treat the token as authentic. This issue is fixed in version 1.9.1.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <title>GHSA-8m4g-j4wp-wgcg — Authlib accepts an empty HMAC key, allowing JWS/JWT signature forgery (HS256/HS384/HS512)</title>
      <link>https://db.gcve.eu/vuln/ghsa-8m4g-j4wp-wgcg</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Affected:&lt;/strong&gt; PyPI: Authlib&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Reporter: Cavan Loughran, Celvex Group Inc.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Summary&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Authlib&amp;#39;s symmetric (oct) key handling accepts an empty key (empty bytes b&amp;#39;&amp;#39; / empty string &amp;#39;&amp;#39;) as a valid HMAC signing and verification key. An empty HMAC key produces a deterministic digest that any party can reproduce, so an attacker who knows (or can cause) the application to verify a token with an empty key can forge arbitrary tokens that pass HS256/HS384/HS512 signature verification. This is the Authlib member of the cross-language empty-HMAC-key family already assigned CVE-2026-44351 (fast-jwt, npm) and CVE-2026-45363 (ruby-jwt, RubyGems).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This is DISTINCT from Authlib&amp;#39;s existing recent JWT-verification advisories. It is not closed by CVE-2026-27962 / GHSA-wvwj-cvrp-7pv5 (JWS JWK header injection, the key=None case), nor by CVE-2026-28802 / GHSA-7wc2-qxgw-g8gg (alg:none blank-signature bypass), nor by GHSA-5357-c2jx-v7qh (algorithm confusion with asymmetric public keys). Those address header-driven key injection, the none algorithm, and asymmetric-vs-symmetric confusion respectively; none of them rejects a zero-length oct key.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Affected versions&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Authlib &amp;lt;= 1.7.2 (latest release 1.7.2, 2026-05-06). Confirmed present at the v1.7.2 release tag and on the current main HEAD. The affected code is in authlib/jose/rfc7518/oct_key.py and authlib/jose/rfc7518/jws_algs.py.&lt;/p&gt;
