jwt-go before 4.0.0-preview1 allows attackers to bypass intended access restrictions in situations with []string{} for m[aud] (which is allowed by the specification). Because the type assertion fails, is the value of aud. This is a security problem if the JWT token is presented to a service that lacks its own audience check.

Weakness

When an actor claims to have a given identity, the product does not prove or insufficiently proves that the claim is correct.
