OpenOLAT: Authentication bypass via forged JWT in OIDC implicit flow
Platform

Component
openolat
Fixed in
20.2.5
OpenOlat is an open source web-based e-learning platform for teaching, learning, assessment and communication. From version 10.5.4 to before version 20.2.5, OpenOLAT's OpenID Connect implicit flow implementation does not verify JWT signatures. The JSONWebToken.parse() method silently discards the signature segment of the compact JWT (header.payload.signature), and the getAccessToken() methods in both OpenIdConnectApi and OpenIdConnectFullConfigurableApi only validate claim-level fields (issuer, audience, state, nonce) without any cryptographic signature verification against the Identity Provider's JWKS endpoint. This issue has been patched in version 20.2.5.
How to fix
Actualice OpenOLAT a la versión 20.2.5 o superior. Esta versión corrige la vulnerabilidad de omisión de autenticación al verificar correctamente las firmas JWT en el flujo implícito de OIDC.
