This upgrade contains minor breaking changes and significant security enhancements. The risk is assessed as medium due to a dropped Python version support and stricter key validation.

Key Changes:

• Python Version Support: Support for Python 3.7 (which reached its end-of-life in June 2023) was dropped starting in pyjwt version 2.9.0. [2]
• Stricter HMAC Key Validation: As of v2.13.0, empty HMAC keys are explicitly rejected with an InvalidKeyError. Previously, this might have only produced a warning. Implementations using empty keys will now fail. [2]
• Security Fixes: The versions in this range include several important security fixes, including preventing algorithm confusion attacks and addressing issues with issuer claim validation. [2]

Recommendation:

• Verify that your application is running on Python 3.8 or newer.
• Confirm that your application is not using empty keys for HMAC algorithms.
• Review the changelog for the full list of security enhancements and bug fixes.
