How to fix?

Upgrade github.com/hashicorp/nomad/command/agent to version 1.0.17, 1.1.12, 1.2.6 or higher.

Overview

github.com/hashicorp/nomad/command/agent is a package part of hashicorp's nomad.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Improper Input Validation due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input within the HCL configuration, which allows anyone with access to Nomad’s API to submit HCL formatted jobs for parsing to return the equivalent JSON. This endpoint allowed a malformed HCL configuration to be evaluated, resulting in excessive CPU usage on Nomad server agents.
