Summary
Eclipse KeyPont - GOSE versions from 0.7.5 through 0.13.0-rc1 and from 0 before 1.0.0-rc4 are affected. In JwksTrustStore.Get, parsed keys are assigned to a named return value, so when the requested kid is absent, the function returns the last key in the JWKS document with a nil error (CWE-706). The CVSS vector rates this as remotely reachable without privileges or user interaction, with low integrity impact. CISA's SSVC assessment lists exploitation as proof of concept.

Description from the CNA
`JwksTrustStore.Get` assigned each parsed key to the function's **named return value** while refreshing the JWKS cache. When the requested `kid` was not present, the trailing naked `return` handed the caller the last key in the JWKS document together with a `nil` error — a confidently wrong answer instead of "not found".
