Ubuntu priority
Description
auth: db-oauth2: aud claim used as fallback for missing scope claim. An attacker that holds a token intended for a different purpose can authenticate, because when an OAuth2 token response does not contain a scope claim, the audience claim is used in its place and checked against the configured required scopes. These are different concepts, and the audience claim does not describe what a token is allowed to do.
