### Duplicate Advisory This advisory has been withdrawn because it is a duplicate of GHSA-cjwg-qfpm-7377. This link is maintained to preserve external references. ### Original Description In python-jose 3.3.0 (specifically jwe.decrypt), a vulnerability allows an attacker to cause a Denial-of-Service (DoS) condition by crafting a malicious JSON Web Encryption (JWE) token with an exceptionally high compression ratio. When this token is processed by the server, it results in significant memory allocation and processing time during decompression.
Update python-jose to 3.4.0 if you use the affected versions. Test the change in a non-production environment first.

hol-guard supply-chain scanDuplicate Advisory: python-jose denial of service via compressed JWE content affects python-jose (pip). Severity is medium. ### Duplicate Advisory This advisory has been withdrawn because it is a duplicate of GHSA-cjwg-qfpm-7377.

When this token is processed by the server, it results in significant memory allocation and processing time during decompression.
AI coding agents often install or upgrade packages automatically in pip. A medium vulnerability in a dependency can be pulled into a project through a normal install or update without a human reviewing the change, expanding the blast radius from a single package to every agent workspace that depends on it.
