[WARNING]
18+
.*Psychic signatures in Java*
19+
==========
20+
In April 2022, link:https://neilmadden.blog/2022/04/19/psychic-signatures-in-java/[CVE-2022-21449]
21+
was disclosed in Oracle's OpenJDK (and other JVMs derived from it) which can impact applications using java-webauthn-server.
22+
The impact is that for the most common type of WebAuthn credential, invalid signatures are accepted as valid,
23+
allowing authentication bypass for users with such a credential.
24+
Please read link:https://openjdk.java.net/groups/vulnerability/advisories/2022-04-19[Oracle's advisory]
25+
and make sure you are not using one of the impacted OpenJDK versions.
26+
If you are, we urge you to upgrade your Java deployment to a version that is safe.
