CVE-2024-33664: python-jose denial of service via compressed JWE content

April 26, 2024 (updated February 18, 2025)

python-jose through 3.3.0 allows attackers to cause a denial of service (resource consumption) during a decode via a crafted JSON Web Encryption (JWE) token with a high compression ratio, aka a “JWT bomb.” This is similar to CVE-2024-21319.
