A flaw was found in Connect2id Nimbus JOSE+JWT prior to version 7.9. While processing JSON web tokens (JWT), nimbus-jose-jwt can throw various uncaught exceptions resulting in an application crash, information disclosure, or authentication bypass. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to data confidentiality and system availability.
Connect2id Nimbus-JOSE-JWT is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by improper validation of user requests by the PasswordBasedDecrypter (PBKDF2) component. By sending a specially crafted request using a large JWE p2c header, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause a denial of service.
Connect2id Nimbus JOSE+JWT could provide weaker than expected security, caused by the lack of integer-overflow check when converting length values from bytes to bits. A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to conduct a HMAC bypass attack.
Connect2id Nimbus JOSE+JWT could provide weaker than expected security, caused by proceeding with ECKey construction without ensuring that the public x and y coordinates are on the specified curve. A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to conduct an Invalid Curve Attack.
In Connect2id Nimbus JOSE+JWT before 9.37.2, an attacker can cause a denial of service (resource consumption) via a large JWE p2c header value (aka iteration count) for the PasswordBasedDecrypter (PBKDF2) component.
Connect2id Nimbus JOSE + JWT 10.0.x before 10.0.2 and 9.37.x before 9.37.4 allows a remote attacker to cause a denial of service via a deeply nested JSON object supplied in a JWT claim set, because of uncontrolled recursion. NOTE: this is independent of the Gson 2.11.0 issue because the Connect2id product could have checked the JSON object nesting depth, regardless of what limits (if any) were imposed by Gson.
Connect2id Nimbus JOSE+JWT could provide weaker than expected security, caused by proceeding improperly after detection of an invalid HMAC in authenticated AES-CBC decryption. A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to conduct a padding oracle attack.
Connect2id Nimbus JOSE + JWT before 10.0.2 allows a remote attacker to cause a denial of service via a deeply nested JSON object supplied in a JWT claim set, because of uncontrolled recursion. NOTE: this is independent of the Gson 2.11.0 issue because the Connect2id product could have checked the JSON object nesting depth, regardless of what limits (if any) were imposed by Gson.
