 That is what makes JWT flaws so dangerous in the wild. They rarely look dramatic at the start. There is no noisy exploit chain, no giant memory corruption, no obvious crash. Just a tiny assumption in token verification logic that lets an attacker go from "decode" to "forge" to "admin" with very little friction.
 
-JSON Web Tokens are everywhere. REST APIs, mobile backends, microservices, and OAuth flows all rely on them heavily. And yet JWTs are still consistently misconfigured, misunderstood, and exploited.
+JSON Web Tokens are everywhere. REST APIs, mobile backends, microservices, and OAuth flows all rely on them heavily. And yet JWT vulnerabilities are still consistently introduced through weak verification logic, unsafe key handling, and broken claim validation.
 
 This is not a basic JWT explainer. This guide takes an attacker's lens to JWTs: how they break, where they break, and what a fully weaponized exploit can look like in the real world.
