How to fix?

Upgrade org.bitbucket.b_c:jose4j to version 0.9.3 or higher.

Overview

org.bitbucket.b_c:jose4j is a robust and easy to use open source implementation of JSON Web Token (JWT) and the JOSE specification suite (JWS, JWE, and JWK). It is written in Java and relies solely on the JCA APIs for cryptography. Please see https://bitbucket.org/b_c/jose4j/wiki/Home for more info, examples, etc...

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Inadequate Encryption Strength through the iteration count setting, which can reduce the computational effort required to crack the encryption if it is set to a low value.
