Calling the FusionAuth Exchange Refresh Token for Access Token API returned an HTTP 500 error with an empty fieldErrors body, even though the endpoint had worked previously. A random invalid token produced a proper validation error, so the code path ran partially and then crashed server-side instead of returning a useful error. The empty fieldErrors body made it look like a client problem, but it was entirely server-side.

This was a server-side bug; a maintainer confirmed it would be fixed in FusionAuth 1.49.0. Upgrade to 1.49.0 or newer. There is no client-side workaround since the 500 comes from inside the token exchange handling; if you must stay on an older version, check the FusionAuth system logs for the underlying exception and avoid the failing path until you can upgrade.
