Security Module
JWT verification, authentication, and authorization utilities.
Uses PyJWT rather than python-jose: python-jose 3.3.0 is affected by
CVE-2024-33663 (algorithm confusion allowing a token signed with an attacker's
key to validate) and CVE-2024-33664 (JWE decompression bomb). PyJWT is
maintained and rejects algorithm substitution by construction, because the
caller states the permitted algorithms and the header is never trusted to
choose the key type.
