Description TEJ RATHI 2024-01-10 09:51:17 UTC 
In JWX, Calling `jws.Parse` with a JSON serialized payload where the `signature` field is present while `protected` is absent can lead to a nil pointer dereference. The vulnerability can be used to crash/DOS a system doing JWS verification. This vulnerability has been patched in version 2.0.19.
