I implemented some of the patterns that are laid out here. I did a synk security scan that informed me that the okta_jwt library includes a security vulnerability. https://app.snyk.io/vuln/SN…. Are there any plans to make changes to the okta_jwt library to circumvent this issue?

I’m trying to follow this tutorial so I can implement it in my own FastAPI app, but there seem to have been a lot of changes in the Okta admin environment since this was written, for example:

  • Setting up a new application is different
  • I can’t find issuer ID and audience
  • Managing scopes has another structure

Are there any sources for finding how to implement Okta auth in my FastAPI app or what the differences are since this tutorial?
