CVE-2024-28102 — JWCrypto vulnerable to JWT bomb Attack in `deserialize` function

2026-09-29T07:24:58.212241+00:00

Affected: latchset jwcrypto

JWCrypto implements JWK, JWS, and JWE specifications using python-cryptography. Prior to version 1.5.6, an attacker can cause a denial of service attack by passing in a malicious JWE Token with a high compression ratio. When the server processes this token, it will consume a lot of memory and processing time. Version 1.5.6 fixes this vulnerability by limiting the maximum token length.

GHSA-j857-7rvv-vj97 — JWCrypto vulnerable to JWT bomb Attack in `deserialize` function

2026-09-29T07:24:58.212351+00:00

Affected: PyPI: jwcrypto

## Affected version Vendor: https://github.com/latchset/jwcrypto Version: 1.5.5

## Description An attacker can cause a DoS attack by passing in a malicious JWE Token with a high compression ratio. When the server processes this Token, it will consume a lot of memory and processing time.

## Poc ```python from jwcrypto import jwk, jwe from jwcrypto.common import json_encode, json_decode import time public_key = jwk.JWK() private_key = jwk.JWK.generate(kty='RSA', size=2048) public_key.import_key(**json_decode(private_key.export_public()))
