Summary

JweRsaKeyEncryptionDecryptorImpl.Decrypt passed the JWE's initialization vector to cipher.AEAD.Open without checking its length. The Go standard library panics rather than returning an error when a GCM nonce is not exactly NonceSize() bytes, so a JWE carrying a wrong-sized IV crashes the decrypting goroutine.

Risk Assessment

A malicious JWE token can trigger a panic and crash the decrypting service, leading to denial of service.

Recommendation

Update the library to a version containing the fix that validates the IV length.

Original NVD description (English source)

`JweRsaKeyEncryptionDecryptorImpl.Decrypt` passed the JWE's initialization vector to `cipher.AEAD.Open` without checking its length. The Go standard library **panics** rather than returning an error when a GCM nonce is not exactly `NonceSize()` bytes, so a JWE carrying a wrong-sized IV crashes the decrypting goroutine.
