    Nimbus JOSE + JWT is vulnerable to DoS attacks when processing deeply nested JSON

    CVE-2025-53864 · GHSA-xwmg-2g98-w7v9

    Affected
    • Maven com.nimbusds:nimbus-jose-jwt < 9.37.4; >= 9.38-rc1, < 10.0.2
    Fixed in
    10.0.29.37.4· Vendor fix available
    Issue
    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.

    Recommended action: Upgrade to 10.0.2 or 9.37.4 by release line, then redeploy and verify.A vendor fix does not resolve your finding until you verify it in your own systems.

    Nimbus JOSE+JWT missing overflow check

    CVE-2017-12972 · GHSA-2qp9-wg27-9pcv

    Affected
    • Maven com.nimbusds:nimbus-jose-jwt < 4.39
    Fixed in
    4.39· Vendor fix available
    Issue
    In Nimbus JOSE+JWT before 4.39, there is no integer-overflow check when converting length values from bytes to bits, which allows attackers to conduct HMAC bypass attacks by shifting Additional Authenticated Data (AAD) and ciphertext so that different plaintext is obtained for the same HMAC.

    Recommended action: Upgrade to 4.39 or later, then redeploy and verify.A vendor fix does not resolve your finding until you verify it in your own systems.
