QID 982076: Go (go) Security Update for gopkg.in/square/go-jose.v1 (GHSA-86r9-39j9-99wp)

go-jose before 1.0.4 suffers from an invalid curve attack for the ECDH-ES algorithm. When deriving a shared key using ECDH-ES for an encrypted message, go-jose neglected to check that the received public key on a message is on the same curve as the static private key of the receiver, thus making it vulnerable to an invalid curve attack.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may affect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the targeted user.
