"details": "Connect2id Nimbus JOSE + JWT before 10.0.2 allows a remote attacker to cause a denial of service via a deeply nested JSON object supplied in a JWT claim set, because of uncontrolled recursion. **This happens due to a vulnerability in the underlying dependency used to parse the JSON, not within the Nimbus codebase itself.**\n\nNOTE: \n- this is NOT independent of the Gson 2.11.0 issue because the official solution was just to upgrade the dependency. see: [f7fb882](https://bitbucket.org/connect2id/nimbus-jose-jwt/commits/f7fb882cc08f027c9ceb874acec3b51c6222861c)\n- for versions before 9.24 the dependency was JSON Smart 2.4.8 [74a64ad](https://bitbucket.org/connect2id/nimbus-jose-jwt/commits/74a64ad633771362d7a30edb359f9e02e6774143), this vuln was fixed on json-smart-v2 2.4.9. see: https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-493p-pfq6-5258",
