The callback assigned to AudienceValidator
or LifetimeValidator
always returns true
.
By setting critical TokenValidationParameter
validation delegates to always return true
, important authentication safeguards are disabled. Disabling safeguards can lead to incorrect validation of tokens from any issuer or expired tokens.
For more information about best practices for token validation, see the library's wiki.
How to fix violationstrue
, which effectively disables that type of validation.SecurityTokenInvalidAudienceException
or SecurityTokenInvalidLifetimeException
in failure cases when you want to fail validation and have other cases pass by returning true
.In some specific cases where you're utilizing the delegate for additional logging and it's for token types where the specific type of validation is not needed, it may make sense to suppress this warning. Before you disable this validation, be sure you have fully thought through the security implications. For information about the trade-offs, see the token validation library's wiki.
Suppress a warningIf you just want to suppress a single violation, add preprocessor directives to your source file to disable and then re-enable the rule.
#pragma warning disable CA5405
// The code that's violating the rule is on this line.
#pragma warning restore CA5405
To disable the rule for a file, folder, or project, set its severity to none
in the configuration file.
[*.{cs,vb}]
dotnet_diagnostic.CA5405.severity = none

Pseudo-code examples Violationusing System;
using Microsoft.IdentityModel.Tokens;
class TestClass
{
public void TestMethod()
{
TokenValidationParameters parameters = new TokenValidationParameters();
parameters.AudienceValidator = (audiences, token, tvp) => { return true; };
}
}
Solution
using System;
using Microsoft.IdentityModel.Tokens;
class TestClass
{
public void TestMethod()
{
TokenValidationParameters parameters = new TokenValidationParameters();
parameters.AudienceValidator = (audiences, token, tvp) =>
{
// Implement your own custom audience validation
if (PerformCustomAudienceValidation(audiences, token))
return true;
else
return false;
};
}
