Answer
They can lead to unauthorized access if not properly validated.
Improperly validated JWTs can be exploited by attackers to gain unauthorized access to a system. It's crucial to validate the token's signature and claims such as expiration time to ensure its integrity and authenticity. In Java, the `io.jsonwebtoken` library can validate JWTs by verifying their signature and parsing claims.
