The issue is related to the JWE key management algorithms based on PBKDF2, which require a JOSE Header Parameter called `p2c` (PBES2 Count). This parameter dictates the number of PBKDF2 iterations needed to derive a CEK wrapping key. Its primary purpose is to intentionally slow down the key derivation function, making password brute-force and dictionary attacks more resource-intensive. However, if an attacker sets the `p2c` parameter in JWE to a very large number, it can cause excessive computational consumption, resulting in a denial of service.
