Fixes https://github.com/GSA/Challenge_platform/security/code-scanning/1
To fix the problem, we need to validate the
jwks_uri
before using it in the HTTP request. One way to do this is to ensure that thejwks_uri
is within a specific domain or matches a specific pattern. This can be done by checking the hostname of thejwks_uri
against a whitelist of allowed hostnames or by using a regular expression to validate the URL format.We will add a method to validate the
jwks_uri
and call this method before making the HTTP request. If thejwks_uri
is not valid, we will raise an error.Suggested fixes powered by Copilot Autofix. Review carefully before merging.
