Summary

Migrate Fosite master from go-jose v3 to official go-jose v4.1.6. Update serialization and parsing calls for the v4 API, preserve explicit JWT algorithm allowlists, handle v4 symmetric and Ed25519 key forms, and add regression coverage for signature validation, unsafe RSA JWK headers, and RSA key size bounds.

This addresses the vulnerable go-jose v3 dependency relevant to GHSA-mgcc-cww5-fp2q. The prior Fosite PR #824 is closed unmerged; this change is prepared against current master commit a5f0b09bf31c17297b25637bb3fec2ff7a55b159.

The module Go directive is raised to 1.24.0, required by go-jose v4.1.6.

Verification

• go test -count=1 ./token/jwt ./handler/rfc7523 — passed
• Full normal and race suites passed on the canonical v0.49.0 migration in the companion fork release; this upstream-master diff has only the focused suites run so far.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Compatibility
  • Updated JWT and key handling to the newer JOSE library. The minimum required Go version is now 1.24.
  • Key storage integrations must use the updated JOSE key types.
• Security
  • JWT parsing now accepts only an explicit set of signature algorithms.
  • Improved handling of unsafe or malformed JWT keys and encrypted tokens, including embedded RSA and ephemeral key validation.

Walkthrough

The repository upgrades go-jose from v3 to v4 and updates JWT parsing, serialization, and key handling. RFC 7523 and other JOSE consumers use the new version. The Go directive changes to 1.24.0, and two OAuth2 refresh error messages change their debug formatting.

Changes: JOSE v4 migration

Layer / File(s)	Summary
JWT core and validation go.mod, token/jwt/*	The module upgrades to go-jose v4 and Go 1.24.0. JWT serialization uses Serialize; parsing uses an explicit algorithm allowlist; pointer handles byte slices and Ed25519 public keys. Tests cover supported algorithms, key validation, RSA JWKs, and error redaction.
RFC 7523 assertion flow handler/rfc7523/*, integration/clients/jwt_bearer.go, integration/*jwt_bearer*, integration/introspect_jwt_bearer_token_test.go	The RFC 7523 handler uses an explicit assertion algorithm allowlist. Related storage and tests use go-jose v4. The integration JWT bearer client serializes assertions with Serialize.
Other JOSE consumers authorize_request_handler.go, authorize_request_handler_oidc_request_test.go, client.go, client_authentication*, internal/oauth2_auth_jwt_storage.go, storage/memory.go, integration/helper_setup_test.go, .golangci.yml	Authorization, client authentication, memory storage, the generated mock, and supporting tests switch their go-jose imports to v4. The linter configuration uses schema version 2 and updated exclusions. Copyright notices across the repository change to 2026.

OAuth2 refresh error messages

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Refresh storage errors handler/oauth2/flow_refresh.go	Two storage-error debug messages now use %s formatting. Error wrapping, hints, and returned error types remain unchanged.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Change: Bug fix

Merge Risk: Low · up to 45f47

The migration has a bounded test-coverage gap: ECDSA and EdDSA tests do not check rejection of a different valid public key. Add those cases as a follow-up; no concrete merge-blocking defect is established.

Use a same-type key for the ECDSA and EdDSA wrong-key checks.

123-125: Trivial · Maintainability & Code Quality · Quick win

Use a same-type key for the ECDSA and EdDSA wrong-key checks.

The wrong-key check at line 123 passes []byte("wrong-key") for every algorithm. For ECDSA and EdDSA, that key type never matches the verification key, so ParseWithClaims fails on the type mismatch alone. A verifier that skips signature checks when the key types match would still pass this test. Use a different key of the same type for these two cases. Keep the []byte key for the other algorithms, because same-type rejection for RSA is covered elsewhere.

Review comment at @token/jwt/jose4_security_test.go around lines 123 - 125:
Update the wrong-key check in the ParseWithClaims test to use a different
verification key of the same type for ECDSA and EdDSA cases, so rejection
exercises signature verification rather than key-type mismatch. Keep the
existing []byte wrong key for other algorithms.

Lint/format follow-up on head 45f474113e7b581862202d327964242b9b52dd1e:

• golangci-lint 2.14.0 v2 config verification passed. The migration preserves gosec, the prior disabled-linter policy, and test-file exclusions; no new lint suppression was added.
• Focused lint (./token/jwt ./handler/rfc7523): 0 issues. The full-repository run reports four existing findings, all reproduced unchanged on base a5f0b09: device_write.go:35 (errcheck), access_request_handler.go:56 (gosec G120), authorize_request_handler.go:340 (gosec G120), and introspect.go:32 (gosec G120). The base had one additional govet finding for reflect.Ptr, fixed here with reflect.Pointer.
• The unchanged full-scope format workflow passes: make format followed by git diff HEAD --exit-code produced no diff. The formatter-required 2026 copyright refresh is isolated in commit f4d3a9e.

At the time of this note, GitHub format and license checks are green; test and OIDC checks are still running.
