CVE-2026-119542
Org.infinispan/infinispan-query: infinispan: deeply nested ickle queries can trigger a stackoverflowerror
Description
A flaw was found in the Ickle query parser in Infinispan. A query containing deeply nested predicates can cause recursive parsing to exhaust the Java thread stack and throw an uncaught StackOverflowError. An authenticated user with BULK_READ permission who can submit a cache query may trigger the issue, potentially affecting availability.
