Uncontrolled Recursion

CVE-2025-53864

Medium
5.8/10

Summary

Connect2id Nimbus JOSE + JWT allows a remote attacker to cause a Denial-of-Service (DoS) 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. This issue affects `com.nimbusds:nimbus-jose-jwt` versions 9.24 through 9.37.3, and 9.38 through 10.0.1.
