Matched on "denial-of-service"
The Denial of Service (DoS) attack is focused on making a resource (site, application, server) unavailable for the purpose it was designed. There are many ways to make a service unavailable for legitimate users by manipulating network packets, programming, logical, or resources handling vulnerabilities, among others.

Micro-Learning Topic: Vulnerable library (Detected by phrase)
Matched on "Vulnerable Library"
Use of vulnerable components will introduce weaknesses into the application. Components with published vulnerabilities will allow easy exploitation as resources will often be available to automate the process.
WS-2023-0431 - Medium Severity Vulnerability
An implementation of JOSE standards (JWE, JWS, JWT) in Go

Found in HEAD commit: 62eb1f7b1cb792bbe607b277d53b733969f4b2ca
Found in base branch: master
The go-jose package before 3.0.1 is subject to a "billion hashes attack" causing denial-of-service when decrypting JWE inputs. This occurs when an attacker can provide a PBES2 encrypted JWE blob with a very large p2c value that, when decrypted, produces a denial-of-service.
