Echo: com.nimbusds:nimbus-jose-jwt: security update to 9.37.4

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 455318

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

 - Connect2id Nimbus JOSE + JWT 10.0.x before 10.0.2 and 9.37.x before 9.37.4 allows a remote attacker to
 cause a denial of service via a deeply nested JSON object supplied in a JWT claim set, because of
 uncontrolled recursion. NOTE: this is independent of the Gson 2.11.0 issue because the Connect2id product
 could have checked the JSON object nesting depth, regardless of what limits (if any) were imposed by Gson.
 (CVE-2025-53864)

Solution

Update the com.nimbusds:nimbus-jose-jwt library and its related packages to version 9.37.4 or later.
