      <title>CVE-2026-48525 — PyJWT: Unauthenticated DoS via unbounded Base64URL decoding of unused payload segment in b64=false detached JWS</title>
      <link>https://vulnerability.circl.lu/vuln/cve-2026-48525</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Affected:&lt;/strong&gt; jpadilla pyjwt&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;PyJWT is a JSON Web Token implementation in Python. From 2.8.0 to 2.12.1, when verifying detached JWS tokens using the unencoded-payload option (&amp;#34;b64&amp;#34;: false, RFC 7797), PyJWT performs Base64URL decoding of the compact-serialization payload segment before enforcing the detached-payload rules. For b64=false, PyJWT later discards that decoded payload and replaces it with the caller-provided detached_payload. In practice, this turns the middle segment into an attacker-controlled “work amplifier”: a remote client can supply an arbitrarily large Base64URL payload segment that forces CPU work + memory allocations even if the signature is invalid. This creates an unauthenticated DoS vector against any endpoint that verifies detached JWS using PyJWT. This vulnerability is fixed in 2.13.0.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
