High risk

Summary

PyJWT library exhibits high quantum vulnerability with 95 instances of quantum-susceptible algorithms including RSA, ECDSA (NIST P-256/384/521), and Ed25519. As a widely-used JWT implementation library, migration to post-quantum cryptography is critical to protect token integrity against future quantum attacks. The library's core cryptographic infrastructure requires comprehensive redesign to support NIST-approved PQC algorithms.
