github.com/go-jose/go-jose is vulnerable to Data Amplification. The vulnerability due to insufficient checks or controls in the handling of compressed data within the Decrypt or DecryptMulti functions. Specifically, when an attacker sends a JSON Web Encryption (JWE) containing compressed data, the decompression process carried out by these functions results in a substantial consumption of memory and CPU resources, resulting in Denial of Service.
