How Insecure Deserialization Manifests in Jwt Tokens

Insecure deserialization in JWT tokens occurs when attackers manipulate token claims to execute arbitrary code during token processing. This vulnerability emerges from improper validation of serialized data structures within JWT claims.

The most common attack vector involves the aud (audience) claim. When JWT libraries deserialize this claim without proper type validation, attackers can inject malicious objects that execute during deserialization. Consider this vulnerable implementation:
