"value": "<p>The pure-Erlang AES-GCM fallback in <code>jose_jwa_aes</code> derives the number of verified authentication tag bits from the attacker-supplied tag itself. In the <code>{aes_gcm, Bits}</code> clause of <code>block_decrypt/4</code>, the incoming tag is guarded only by <code>is_binary/1</code>, with no check on its length. Verification in <code>gcm_block_decrypt/6</code> then computes <code>TBits = bit_size(T)</code> and compares only those bits of the real 128-bit tag. An attacker who controls a JWE token can truncate the authentication tag to as little as 8 bits, so only 8 bits are ever checked. This reduces forgery resistance from 2^-128 to 2^-8, and a forged ciphertext is reliably accepted as authentic within 256 attempts without knowledge of the key (an authentication tag forgery and integrity bypass). Supplying a tag longer than 128 bits instead causes a badmatch that crashes the decrypting process.
