Summary
Eclipse KeyPont - GOSE from 0.9.0 through 0.13.0-rc1, and from 0 before 1.0.0-rc1, is affected. The JweDirectDecryptorBlock.Decrypt function uses a 64-bit plaintext length read from the _thales_aad protected header without validating it (CWE-129). A remote attacker without credentials who sends a forged token with a truncated or oversized value can crash the process or force an unbounded memory allocation, causing denial of service.

Description from the CNA
`JweDirectDecryptorBlock.Decrypt` read a 64-bit plaintext length from the `_thales_aad` protected-header field and used it without any validation. A truncated field panics `binary.BigEndian.Uint64`, an oversized value drives an unbounded allocation, and a value larger than the decrypted block panics with a slice-bounds error.
