CVE-2026-34986

Impact

Decrypting a JSON Web Encryption (JWE) object will panic if the alg field indicates a key wrapping algorithm (one ending in KW, with the exception of A128GCMKW, A192GCMKW, and A256GCMKW) and the encrypted_key field is empty. The panic happens when cipher.KeyUnwrap() in key_wrap.go attempts to allocate a slice with a zero or negative length based on the length of the encrypted_key.

This code path is reachable from ParseEncrypted() / ParseEncryptedJSON() / ParseEncryptedCompact() followed by Decrypt() on the resulting object. Note that the parse functions take a list of accepted key algorithms. If the accepted key algorithms do not include any key wrapping algorithms, parsing will fail and the application will be unaffected.

This panic is also reachable by calling cipher.KeyUnwrap() directly with any ciphertext parameter less than 16 bytes long, but calling this function directly is less common.

Panics can lead to denial of service.

Fixed In

4.1.4 and v3.0.5

Workarounds

If the list of keyAlgorithms passed to ParseEncrypted() / ParseEncryptedJSON() / ParseEncryptedCompact() does not include key wrapping algorithms (those ending in KW), your application is unaffected.

If your application uses key wrapping, you can prevalidate to the JWE objects to ensure the encrypted_key field is nonempty. If your application accepts JWE Compact Serialization, apply that validation to the corresponding field of that serialization (the data between the first and second .).

Release Notes

go-jose/go-jose (github.com/go-jose/go-jose/v4)

v4.1.4

Compare Source

What's Changed

Fixes Panic in JWE decryption. See GHSA-78h2-9frx-2jm8

Full Changelog: go-jose/go-jose@v4.1.3...v4.1.4

v4.1.3

Compare Source

This release drops Go 1.23 support as that Go release is no longer supported. With that, we can drop x/crypto and no longer have any external dependencies in go-jose outside of the standard library!

This release fixes a bug where a critical b64 header was ignored if in an unprotected header. It is now rejected instead of ignored.

What's Changed

• Remove Go 1.23 support by @​mcpherrinm in #​205
• Reject JWS with an unprotected critical b64 header by @​mcpherrinm in #​210

Full Changelog: go-jose/go-jose@v4.1.2...v4.1.3

v4.1.2

go-jose v4.1.2 improves some documentation, errors, and removes the only 3rd-party dependency.

• Update go-jose documentation by @​mcpherrinm in #​198
• Remove dependency on testify by @​wardviaene in #​197
• Improve error message for invalid private keys by @​ProjectMutilation in #​195
• JWK unsupported error when unmarshalling by @​fprojetto in #​191
• Add JSONWebKey type to makeJWERecipient by @​alvarolivie in #​200
• testutils/assert: remove True, Nil, NotNil by @​jsha in #​202

New Contributors

• @​wardviaene made their first contribution in #​197
