Another option is pkce spa, if they did not do 'auth' checks that the jwt token was indeed signed by auth0 or similar, a carefully crafted js alteration would let you take control of the front end. Then you could give it a incorrectly signed token with all the correct details for another user. Usually they would only use the email for matching which makes things even more trivial.

You would hope they verified the signing of the jwt token on the backend, but seems thats too difficult for many dev's.
