A vulnerability was found in cjose. The cjose is a C library implementing the Javascript Object Signing and Encryption (JOSE). The AES GCM decryption routine incorrectly uses the tag length from the actual Authentication Tag provided in the JSON Web Encryption (JWE). A fixed length of 16 octets must be applied. This flaw allows an attacker to provide a truncated Authentication Tag and modify the JWE.

Mitigation

Users unable to upgrade should avoid using AES GCM encryption and replace it with another encryption algorithm, such as AES CBC.
