Technical details
Authlib's JWTAuthenticationRequest implementation forwards an unauthenticated request_uri parameter to the get_request_object() hook before applying destination validation or retrieval policies. The vulnerability is a server-side request forgery (SSRF) that requires the integrator's hook to perform an unrestricted outbound HTTP fetch; attackers need knowledge of a valid public client identifier and network access to the authorization server. Applications that already enforce allowlists, destination controls, and retrieval limits in their custom hooks are not affected.
