Attack profile from CVSS 4.0 · CNA. Fix status from CNA. Impact type from CWE-248.

Summary

Eclipse KeyPont - GOSE is affected from 0.7.3 through 0.13.0-rc1 and from 0 before 1.0.0-rc4. The LoadPublicKey function uses an unchecked type assertion, which leaves an uncaught exception (CWE-248) when a JWK declares kty EC together with a non-EC alg. An unauthenticated remote attacker can trigger a panic by supplying such a key, though the attack complexity is high.

Description from the CNA

`LoadPublicKey` resolved an EC key's curve with an unchecked type assertion, `algToOptsMap[alg].(*ECDSAOptions)`. A JWK declaring `"kty":"EC"` together with a non-EC `"alg"` — which RFC 7517 §4.4 permits — reaches that assertion and **panics**.
