Decode of JWT error when token type is "at+jwt" for spring boot > 2.2.7 - spring

Question

When the token type is at+jwt we get the error in the validation as per stacktrace below
org.springframework.security.oauth2.server.resource.InvalidBearerTokenException: An error occurred while attempting to decode the Jwt: JOSE header "typ" (type) "at+jwt" not allowed at org.springframework.security.oauth2.server.resource.authentication.JwtAuthenticationProvider.authenticate(JwtAuthenticationProvider.java:86)

This is only happening with version of spring boot version greater than 2.2.7
Do you have any idea how to set the allowed token types in the validation?

Answer 1

I had the same problem.
I solved this with dependency changes:
<dependency>
<groupId>org.springframework.security</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-security-oauth2-jose</artifactId>
<exclusions>
<exclusion>
<groupId>com.nimbusds</groupId>
<artifactId>nimbus-jose-jwt</artifactId>
</exclusion>
</exclusions>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>com.nimbusds</groupId>
<artifactId>nimbus-jose-jwt</artifactId>
<version>7.9</version>
</dependency>
The problem is that in version 8+, a new DefaultJOSEObjectTypeVerifier class has appeared in сommit https://bitbucket.org/connect2id/nimbus-jose-jwt/commits/ee6aec33c6349ebc85de37f4b76da7f1feeb0ee5, which checks the allowed types. Type "at+jwt" must be added separately.

Answer 2

In spring boot 2.7, you can create a custom JwtDecoder bean with the at+jwt JOSEObjectType added as follows:
#Configuration
public class JwtConfig {
#Bean
public JwtDecoder jwtDecoder() {
return NimbusJwtDecoder.withJwkSetUri("<JwkSetUri>")
.jwtProcessorCustomizer(customizer -> {
customizer.setJWSTypeVerifier(new DefaultJOSEObjectTypeVerifier<>(new JOSEObjectType("at+jwt")));
})
.build();
}
}
