Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-65631/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-65631/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-65631","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-65631/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-65631","record":{"aliases":["DEBIAN-CVE-2026-65631","EEF-CVE-2026-65631","GHSA-3m45-vrpj-xmrq","UBUNTU-CVE-2026-65631"],"analysis":null,"analysis_generated_by":null,"assigner":"EEF","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":6.9,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N","version":"4.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-407","name":"Inefficient Algorithmic Complexity"}],"description":"Inefficient Algorithmic Complexity in erlang-jose allows an unauthenticated remote attacker to cause a CPU-exhaustion denial of service by submitting a crafted RSA JSON Web Key.\n\nWhen an application parses an untrusted JWK through the public jose_jwk:from_binary/1 or jose_jwk:from_map/1 API (or the Elixir wrappers JOSE.JWK.from_binary/1 and JOSE.JWK.from_map/1), an RSA private key that supplies d, e, and n but omits all Chinese Remainder Theorem parameters (p, q, dp, dq, qi) is routed into convert_sfm_to_crt/1, which tries to recover the missing primes by factoring the modulus. The three integers are read straight from the base64url input and are never validated as a real RSA key. When the modulus cannot be split into two factors (for example, when it is itself prime), the search loop convert_sfm_to_crt_find_p/6 performs a modular exponentiation over the attacker-sized modulus on every iteration and never succeeds. A single request of a few hundred bytes forces close to one CPU-second of work before an internal one-second watchdog kills the worker, and a larger modulus raises the cost further. By flooding such requests an attacker can saturate every scheduler and deny service, without credentials, a valid RSA key, or any special configuration.\n\nThis issue affects jose: from 1.7.7 before 1.11.13.","ecosystems":["Hex"],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"Inefficient Algorithmic Complexity in erlang-jose allows an unauthenticated remote attacker to cause a CPU-exhaustion denial of service by s","id":"CVE-2026-65631","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":"Hex","product":null,"products":[],"type":null,"year":"2026"},"n_packages":1,"n_references":5,"next":{"headline":"ECDSA signature length is not validated in jose, allowing signature malleability","id":"CVE-2026-65632"},"packages":[{"ecosystem":"Hex","fixed":["1.11.13"],"introduced":["1.7.7"],"last_affected":[],"package":"jose","purl":"pkg:hex/jose","source":"EEF-CVE-2026-65631"}],"prev":{"headline":"Timing side-channel in pure-Erlang X25519 scalar multiplication leaks the private key in jose","id":"CVE-2026-65630"},"products":["jose"],"published":"2026-10-26","related":[],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CC BY 4.0","name":"Erlang Ecosystem Foundation","prefix":"EEF"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-10-26","vendors":["potatosalad"]},"summary":null,"url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-65631/"}
