1) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2025-22868)

CWE-ID: CWE-400 - Resource exhaustion

CVSSv4: 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


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.

CWE-ID: CWE-693 - Protection Mechanism Failure

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:L/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear


The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to bypass implemented security restrictions.

The vulnerability exists due to an error in crypto/x509 when using ExtKeyUsageAny. When calling Verify with a VerifyOptions.KeyUsages that contains ExtKeyUsageAny it disables policy validation.

This only affected certificate chains which contain policy graphs, which are rather uncommon.
