"The version of IBM WebSphere Application Server running on the remote host is affected by a vulnerability as referenced
in the 7292227 advisory.
- js-yaml is a JavaScript YAML parser and dumper. From 3.0.0 until 3.15.2, 4.3.2, and 5.4.1,
maxTotalMergeKeys in lib/js-yaml/loader.js and lib/loader.js does not count empty mapping sources while
processing the merge key <<. An attacker can alias a large sequence of empty mappings into many merge
targets, causing O(N * K) processing while totalMergeKeys remains unchanged and the configured resource
limit is never reached. A relatively small YAML document can therefore cause prolonged CPU consumption in
applications that parse untrusted YAML, and merge processing is enabled by default on these release lines.
In v3 & v4, merge is enabled by default so the severity score is higher. This issue is fixed in versions
3.15.2, 4.3.2, and 5.4.1. (CVE-2026-84375)
Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
