eslint-plugin-jwt - npm explorer

Security validation for JSON Web Tokens (JWT) implementation (signing, verification).

Description

This plugin provides Security validation for JSON Web Tokens (JWT) implementation (signing, verification).
By using this plugin, you can proactively identify and mitigate security risks across your entire codebase.

Philosophy

Interlace fosters strength through integration. Instead of stacking isolated rules, we interlace security directly into your workflow to create a resilient fabric of code. We believe tools should guide rather than gatekeep, providing educational feedback that strengthens the developer with every interaction.

🤖 AI-Optimized Messages

Every rule uses

formatLLMMessage for structured output:

`🔒 CWE-347 OWASP:A02-Crypto CVSS:9.8 | Using alg:"none" bypasses signature verification Fix: Remove "none" and use RS256, ES256, or other secure algorithms https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2022-23540`

By providing this structured context (CWE, OWASP, Fix), we enable AI tools to reason about the security flaw rather than hallucinating. This allows Copilot/Cursor to suggest the _exact_ correct fix immediately.

By structuring errors with specific CWE codes, OWASP categories, and direct fix suggestions, this format allows AI coding assistants to autonomously identify, explain, and resolve security vulnerabilities with high confidence.
