Validate the Authorized Party of a session token

Clerk's JWT session token, contains the azp claim, which equals the Origin of the request during token generation. You can provide the middlewares with a list of whitelisted origins to verify against, to protect your application of the subdomain cookie leaking attack. You can find an example below:

import { withAuth } from '@clerk/edge/vercel-edge';

const authorizedParties = ['http://localhost:3000', 'https://example.com'];

async function handler(req, event) {
  // ...
}

export const middleware = withAuth(handler, { authorizedParties });
