Dependabot alert 438 reports CVE-2025-53864 / GHSA-xwmg-2g98-w7v9. Versions before
9.37.4can consume excessive resources when parsing deeply nested JSON, allowing a denial-of-service attack.The vulnerable version is pinned directly in
extensions-core/druid-pac4j/pom.xml. This change uses the first patched release and stays on the existing9.37.xAPI line, minimizing compatibility risk.Impact
JWT parsing and OpenID Connect authentication use the patched Nimbus implementation. No Druid configuration or API changes are required.
