Описание
PyJWT is a JSON Web Token implementation in Python. From 2.8.0 to 2.12.1, when verifying detached JWS tokens using the unencoded-payload option ("b64": false, RFC 7797), PyJWT performs Base64URL decoding of the compact-serialization payload segment before enforcing the detached-payload rules. For b64=false, PyJWT later discards that decoded payload and replaces it with the caller-provided detached_payload. In practice, this turns the middle segment into an attacker-controlled “work amplifier”: a remote client can supply an arbitrarily large Base64URL payload segment that forces CPU work + memory allocations even if the signature is invalid. This creates an unauthenticated DoS vector against any endpoint that verifies detached JWS using PyJWT. This vulnerability is fixed in 2.13.0.
A flaw was found in PyJWT. A remote attacker can exploit this by supplying an arbitrarily large Base64URL payload segment when verifying detached JSON Web Signature (JWS) tokens using the unencoded-payload option. This forces excessive CPU work and memory allocations, leading to a Denial of Service (DoS) against any endpoint verifying such tokens.
Отчет
Moderate: This flaw in PyJWT, a dependency across multiple Red Hat products, allows a remote, unauthenticated attacker to trigger a Denial of Service. By submitting a specially crafted JSON Web Signature (JWS) token with an oversized unencoded payload, an attacker can force excessive CPU and memory consumption on systems verifying these tokens, leading to service disruption.
Меры по смягчению последствий
Mitigation for this issue is either not available or the currently available options do not meet the Red Hat Product Security criteria comprising ease of use and deployment, applicability to widespread installation base or stability.
