[Security] Bump jose from 4.13.1 to 4.15.5

Dependabot requested to merge dependabot-npm_and_yarn-jose-4.15.5 into master

Bumps jose from 4.13.1 to 4.15.5. This update includes a security fix.

Vulnerabilities fixed

jose vulnerable to resource exhaustion via specifically crafted JWE with compressed plaintext A vulnerability has been identified in the JSON Web Encryption (JWE) decryption interfaces, specifically related to the support for decompressing plaintext after its decryption. This allows an adversary to exploit specific scenarios where the compression ratio becomes exceptionally high. As a result, the length of the JWE token, which is determined by the compressed content's size, can land below application-defined limits. In such cases, other existing application level mechanisms for preventing resource exhaustion may be rendered ineffective.

Note that as per RFC 8725 compression of data SHOULD NOT be done before encryption, because such compressed data often reveals information about the plaintext. For this reason the v5.x major version of jose removed support for compressed payloads entirely and is therefore NOT affected by this advisory.

Impact

Under certain conditions it is possible to have the user's environment consume unreasonable amount of CPU time or memory during JWE Decryption operations.

Affected users

The impact is limited only to Node.js users utilizing the JWE decryption APIs to decrypt JWEs from untrusted sources.

You are NOT affected if any of the following applies to you

  • Your code uses jose version v5.x where JWE Compression is not supported anymore
  • Your code runs in an environment other than Node.js (e.g. Deno, CF Workers), which is the only runtime where JWE Compression is implemented out of the box
  • Your code does not use the JWE decryption APIs
  • Your code only accepts JWEs produced by trusted sources
