…decryption panic vulnerability This update addresses a denial of service vulnerability in Go JOSE where decrypting a JSON Web Encryption (JWE) object can panic if the `alg` field indicates a key wrapping algorithm and the `encrypted_key` field is empty. The panic occurs in cipher.KeyUnwrap() when attempting to allocate a slice with a zero or negative length.

Added verification documentation confirming that the go-jose dependency has been properly upgraded from v4.1.3 to v4.1.4, addressing the JWE decryption panic vulnerability. The fix was previously applied in PR #719 (commit 8fe1d0e). This verification confirms: - Dependency is at v4.1.4 in go.mod and go.sum - Code compiles successfully with the updated dependency - Docker build completes without errors Addresses security vulnerability found in Docker image ghcr.io/pluralsh/console:sha-02db129 Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Decrypting a JSON Web Encryption (JWE) object can panic if:
algfield indicates a key wrapping algorithm (those ending inKW, exceptA128GCMKW,A192GCMKW, andA256GCMKW)encrypted_keyfield is emptyThe panic occurs when
cipher.KeyUnwrap()attempts to allocate a slice with a zero or negative length based on the length of theencrypted_key. This can lead to denial of service.Changes
