CVE-2026-80179 · Jwcrypto: jwcrypto: denial of service via malformed jwe tokens
This page contains facts from public vulnerability sources. Check the original advisory before updating.
A flaw was found in jwcrypto. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted JSON Web Encryption (JWE) token containing numerous period delimiters. This malformed token can force the JWE.deserialize() function to allocate excessive memory, leading to a MemoryError. This issue results in a denial of service (DoS) for services that process untrusted JWE values.
