OpenFGA's OIDC authenticator skipped JWT audience (aud) validation when no audience was configured.
In deployments where one identity provider issues tokens for multiple services,
a token minted for an unrelated service could authenticate to OpenFGA.
Preconditions
This applies if the following preconditions are met:
You run OpenFGA with authn.method set to oidc.
You configured authn.oidc.issuer but did not set
authn.oidc.audience (--authn-oidc-audience / OPENFGA_AUTHN_OIDC_AUDIENCE).
Fix
Upgrade to OpenFGA 1.18.0 or greater. OpenFGA now refuses to start in oidc
mode unless both authn.oidc.issuer and authn.oidc.audience are set, and the
aud claim is always validated.
