Technical details
The vulnerability is caused by uncontrolled recursion due to improper input validation in Maximo AI Service versions 9.1.0 and 9.2.0 SaaS deployments. A remote attacker with network access can send malicious input without authentication to trigger the recursive condition, leading to denial of service through resource exhaustion. The underlying cause stems from vulnerable third-party dependencies, particularly the jsdiff library's parsePatch method which can enter infinite loops on certain line break characters in patch filenames.
