Machine-written summary
Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.
The scitokens package before 1.9.6 is vulnerable to SQL injection in its KeyCache class, which builds SQLite queries from user-supplied values such as issuer and key_id. An attacker who can influence those values, for example through a malicious token or issuer endpoint, could run arbitrary SQL against the local cache database, potentially modifying or clearing cache entries and reading other data. Upgrade to scitokens 1.9.6, which is the listed fixed version.
