EUVDB-ID: #VU105461

Risk: Medium

CVSSv4.0: 2.7 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:L/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green]

CVE-ID: CVE-2025-22868

CWE-ID: CWE-400 - Resource exhaustion

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to the jws package does not properly control consumption of internal resources when handling malformed tokens. A remote attacker can pass a malformed JWT token to the application, trigger resource exhaustion and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
