There was a problem hiding this comment.
The secretKey is incorrect here I think, as it has already been sliced to be the encryption key. So the mac should be extracted and passed here. Something like:

| if(this.enableHmacVerification) { | |
| verifyCbcHmac(jweTokenParts[0], iv, encryptedText, authTag, secretKey); | |
| const macKey = secretKey.slice(0, 16); | |

masterbranchDescription
This PR implements HMAC authentication tag verification for AES-CBC encrypted payloads (A128CBC-HS256) in JWE, providing enhanced security and compliance with RFC 7516 (JSON Web Encryption) specification. The feature is opt-in and disabled by default to maintain backward compatibility with existing systems.
