GHSA-c5q2-7r4c-mv6g · Severity: medium · Ecosystem: go — Go JOSE vulnerable to Improper Handling of Highly Compressed Data (Data Amplification)
Package jose aims to provide an implementation of the Javascript Object Signing and Encryption set of standards. An attacker could send a JWE containing compressed data that used large amounts of memory and CPU when decompressed by Decrypt or DecryptMulti. Those functions now return an error if the decompressed data would exceed 250kB or 10x the compressed size (whichever is larger). This vulnerability has been patched in versions 4.0.1, 3.0.3 and 2.6.3.
Conclusion & alert: CVE-2024-28180 is rated Moderate Risk (41.5/100): CVSS Medium severity, with medium exploitation likelihood (EPSS 1.96%). Mandatory action: Review affected assets and schedule remediation.
Risk is dynamic; we continuously reassess and refresh what is shown on this page as upstream context changes.
