APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• CVE ID:CVE-2025-48924
  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.
