CVE-2024-29371 affects jose4j before version 0.9.6. The library can be forced into excessive resource consumption when processing a crafted JSON Web Encryption (JWE) token that uses compressed content with an exceptionally high compression ratio. During JWE handling, decompression of attacker-controlled data can trigger disproportionate memory allocation and CPU time, resulting in a decompression-bomb style denial-of-service condition. The provided context identifies this issue in the org.bitbucket.b_c:jose4j dependency and notes exposure in downstream products such as Confluence Data Center via the bundled dependency.
