SCA: security update for github.com/go-jose/go-jose/v3, github.com/go-jose/go-jose/v4 (GHSA-mgcc-cww5-fp2q)

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 477580

Description

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

 - Go JOSE provides an implementation of the Javascript Object Signing and Encryption set of standards in Go,
 including support for JSON Web Encryption (JWE), JSON Web Signature (JWS), and JSON Web Token (JWT)
 standards. Prior to 4.1.6, go-jose parses attacker-controlled RSA modulus and prime values from JWKs
 without enforcing size and consistency bounds before passing them to crypto/rsa.PrivateKey.Validate. On Go
 1.24 and later, crafted large or degenerate RSA parameters can make that validation consume cubic CPU
 time, allowing remote denial of service in applications that parse JWKs from untrusted sources. This issue
 is fixed in version 4.1.6. (CVE-2026-116587)

Solution

Update the github.com/go-jose/go-jose/v4 library and its related packages to version 4.1.6 or later.
