CVE-2022-23540 @ Npm-jsonwebtoken-8.5.1

[westonphillips]

Vulnerable Package issue exists @ Npm-jsonwebtoken-8.5.1 in branch main

Versions prior to 9.0.0 of jsonwebtoken library, lack of algorithm definition in the jwt.verify() function can lead to signature validation bypass due to defaulting to the none algorithm for signature verification. Users are affected if you do not specify algorithms in the jwt.verify() function. This issue has been fixed, which removes the default support for the none algorithm in the jwt.verify() method and you don’t need to allow for the none algorithm. If you need 'none' algorithm, you have to explicitly specify that in jwt.verify() options.
