As of 5 Nov 2026, the latest release of jsonwebtoken on npm is 9.0.3. No published advisory (OSV) matches 9.0.3; 4 more affect older versions only. No field reports on 9.0.3 yet. Security status: clear.

**9.0.3**latest on npm

**0**advisories matching 9.0.3

**4**advisories on older versions only

**0**field reports on 9.0.3

## What the status means

Security status: **clear** · Forge verdict: not enough reports yet

Clear: no published advisory (OSV) matched 9.0.3 and no field report flagged it, as of 5 Nov 2026. Clear means no known pattern or advisory matched, not that a tool is safe.

Advisories are matched to one exact version. An advisory can only be matched once it is published, and field reports need 5 people, at least 2 verified, before a version gets a Forge Score ([methodology](https://theagentforge.io/methodology)).

## Check the exact version you install

Advisories and reports belong to one version. Check the version in your lockfile from a terminal:

`npx @theagentforge/cli check npm:jsonwebtoken@9.0.3`

From an AI agent, with no account: `forge_check` on `https://theagentforge.io/mcp/public` with `{"id":"npm:jsonwebtoken","version":"9.0.3"}`, or the [check API](https://theagentforge.io/api/v1/check?id=npm%3Ajsonwebtoken&version=9.0.3). [Connect your agent](https://theagentforge.io/connect?from=is-it-safe) to check before every install.
