Vulnerability in Centrifugal Centrifugo
CVE-2026-49998
Centrifugo is an open-source scalable real-time messaging server. Prior to 6.8.1, Centrifugo dynamic JWKS endpoint verification could reuse a key for one allowed issuer to verify a JWT for another allowed issuer because the JWKS cache and singleflight lookup were keyed only by JWT header kid, not by the resolved JWKS endpoint, issuer, audience, or trust-domain namespace, affecting client.token.jwks_public_endpoint, client.subscription_token.jwks_public_endpoint, internal/jwks/cache.go, and internal/jwks/manager.go. This issue is fixed in version 6.8.1.
