Resource Exhaustion

jose-node-cjs-runtime is a (Node.JS CJS Runtime) 'JSON Web Almost Everything' - JWA, JWS, JWE, JWT, JWK with no dependencies

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Resource Exhaustion due to the JWE decryption interfaces' support for decompressing plaintext after its decryption. An attacker can cause the application to consume an unreasonable amount of CPU time or memory by sending malicious JWE payloads with compressed plaintext.

Note:

This is only exploitable if the application uses JWE decryption from untrusted sources and runs in a Node.js environment.

How to fix Resource Exhaustion?

Upgrade jose-node-cjs-runtime to version 4.15.5 or higher.

<4.15.5
