Machine-written summary

Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.

The Lemur package (PyPI) before 1.9.2 reads the signing algorithm from the unverified JWT header instead of pinning it on the server. With PyJWT 2.x, single-request forgery is blocked by the library, so exploitation requires a separate flaw that discloses the LEMUR_TOKEN_SECRET or a future move to asymmetric signing; the source gives few details on the exact impact. Upgrade to version 1.9.2 or later.
