Summary: python-jwt security update

Details: PyJWT is a Python library which allows you to encode and decode JSON Web Tokens (JWT). \ JWT is an open, industry-standard (RFC 7519) for representing claims securely between two parties. Security Fix(es): PyJWT is a Python implementation of RFC 7519. PyJWT supports multiple different JWT signing algorithms. With JWT, an attacker submitting the JWT token can choose the used signing algorithm. The PyJWT library requires that the application chooses what algorithms are supported. The application can specify `jwt.algorithms.get_default_algorithms()` to get support for all algorithms, or specify a single algorithm. The issue is not that big as `algorithms=jwt.algorithms.get_default_algorithms()` has to be used. Users should upgrade to v2.4.0 to receive a patch for this issue. As a workaround, always be explicit with the algorithms that are accepted and expected when decoding.(CVE-2022-29217)
