| Doc Text: |
A flaw was found in PyJWT. A remote attacker can trigger a Denial of Service (DoS) through outbound request amplification by submitting tokens containing unknown key identifiers. Because the library does not cache lookup failures or enforce a minimum refresh interval when fetching signing keys, each invalid key identifier forces a new request to the remote JSON Web Key Set (JWKS) server. This allows an attacker to exhaust network resources and overwhelm the configured authentication endpoints.
