Subject: [PATCH] Limit max plaintext size for JWE decompression
|
|
|
|
This change introduces a maximum plaintext size limit (defaulting to 100MB)
|
|
during JWE decryption and updates the decompression logic to enforce it safely
|
|
using zlib.decompressobj. The decrypt method now accepts a max_plaintext
|
|
parameter to allow overriding the default limit.
|
|
|
|
This mitigates memory exhaustion and decompression bomb attacks when
|
|
processing highly compressed malicious JWE payloads.
|
|
|
|
Fixes CVE-2026-39373
