✅ Remediation

For details on how to apply this update, which includes the changes described in this advisory, refer to: https://access.redhat.com/articles/11258 Workaround: Applications using `cjose` should be configured to reject JWEs that specify the AES Key Wrap key-management algorithms (`A128KW`, `A192KW`, `A256KW`) when processing untrusted input. This application-layer rejection prevents the vulnerable decryption path from being exercised.
