CVE-2024-33664
CVSS v2.0
6.1
Medium
| Vector | AV:N/AC:L/Au:M/C:N/I:N/A:C |
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
python-jose versions 3.3.0 and earlier
Description
The issue is related to high resource consumption during the decoding of a crafted JSON Web Encryption (JWE) token, which can be exploited by a remote attacker to cause a denial of service. This is also known as a "JWT bomb" due to the high compression ratio of the token.
Recommendations
For python-jose versions 3.3.0 and earlier, as a temporary workaround, consider restricting the use of the JWE token decoding function until a patch is available. Avoid using the
decode function with untrusted input to minimize the risk of exploitation. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.Exploit
