Code Review 18
This exercise is one of our challenges to help you learn how to review real source code
In this lab, you will delve into the intricacies of a Java-based JWT library by examining its source code. This exercise is designed to enhance your understanding of how JWTs are implemented and to identify potential security flaws within the code. By carefully analyzing the source code, you will gain insights into common vulnerabilities and best practices in secure coding.
You will start by downloading the source code as a zip file from the provided link. Once you have the code, you will review it thoroughly, paying close attention to how the JWTs are generated, validated, and parsed. This hands-on approach will help you grasp the importance of secure coding practices and how to apply them in real-world scenarios.
