CVE-2025-48924
Uncontrolled Recursion vulnerability in Apache Commons Lang.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (2.27%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
Description
Uncontrolled Recursion vulnerability in Apache Commons Lang. This issue affects Apache Commons Lang: Starting with commons-lang:commons-lang 2.0 to 2.6, and, from org.apache.commons:commons-lang3 3.0 before 3.18.0. The methods ClassUtils.getClass(...) can throw StackOverflowError on very long inputs. Because an Error is usually not handled by applications and libraries, a StackOverflowError could cause an application to stop. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 3.18.0, which fixes the issue.
