Summary
Improper Verification of Cryptographic Signature in Nimbus JOSE+JWT

Nimbus JOSE+JWT before 4.36 proceeds with ECKey construction without ensuring that the public x and y coordinates are on the specified curve, which allows attackers to conduct an Invalid Curve Attack in environments where the JCE provider lacks the applicable curve validation.

Severity ?
7.5 (High)
