Summary

The auth0/java-jwt library may terminate a thread if it receives a JWT with a timestamp claim (exp, nbf, iat) containing an out-of-range value. The condition occurs during token parsing, prior to signature verification, and repeated requests may degrade service availability.

Risk Assessment

An attacker could repeatedly send crafted JWTs, exhausting worker threads and degrading or denying the authentication service.

Recommendation

Update the auth0/java-jwt library to a patched version and consider validating timestamp ranges before parsing the token.
