CVSS v3.1 |
| MSN Password Recovery 1.30 contains an XML external entity injection vulnerability that allows attackers to read local system files through crafted XML input. Attackers can exploit the 'Favorites' tab by injecting a malicious XML file that references external entities to retrieve sensitive system configuration information. |
| SimpleSAMLphp SAML2 library is a PHP library for SAML2 related functionality. When loading an (untrusted) XML document, for example the SAMLResponse, it's possible to induce an XXE. This vulnerability is fixed in 4.6.14 and 5.0.0-alpha.18. |
| An improper XML parsing vulnerability was reported in the FileZ client that could allow arbitrary file reads on the system if a crafted url is visited by a local user. |
| XML Notepad is a Windows program that provides a simple intuitive User Interface for browsing and editing XML documents. Prior to version 2.9.0.21, XML Notepad does not disable DTD processing by default which means external entities are resolved automatically. There is a well known attack related to malicious DTD files where an attacker to craft a malicious XML file that loads a DTD that causes XML Notepad to make outbound HTTP/SMB requests, potentially leaking local file contents or capturing the victim's NTLM credentials. This issue has been patched in version 2.9.0.21. |
| XML External Entity (XXE) vulnerability in esaml (and its forks) allows an attacker to cause the system to read local files and incorporate their contents into processed SAML documents, and potentially perform SSRF via crafted SAML messages.
esaml parses attacker-controlled SAML messages using xmerl_scan:string/2 before signature verification without disabling XML entity expansion. On Erlang/OTP versions before 27, Xmerl allows entities by default, enabling pre-signature XXE attacks. An attacker can cause the host to read local files (e.g., Kubernetes-mounted secrets) into the SAML document. If the attacker is not a trusted SAML SP, signature verification will fail and the document is discarded, but file contents may still be exposed through logs or error messages.
This issue affects all versions of esaml, including forks by arekinath, handnot2, and dropbox. Users running on Erlang/OTP 27 or later are not affected due to Xmerl defaulting to entities disabled. |
| Geonetwork 3.10 through 4.2.0 contains an XML external entity vulnerability in PDF rendering that allows attackers to retrieve arbitrary files from the server. Attackers can exploit the insecure XML parser by crafting a malicious XML document with external entity references to read system files through the baseURL parameter in PDF creation requests. |
| Grav CMS v1.7.x and before is vulnerable to XML External Entity (XXE) through the SVG file upload functionality in the admin panel and File Manager plugin. |
| A local file disclosure vulnerability in the XInclude processing component of Inkscape 1.1 before 1.3 allows a remote attacker to read local files via a crafted SVG file containing malicious xi:include tags. |
| An issue was discovered in Zimbra Collaboration (ZCS) 10.0 and 10.1. An XML External Entity (XXE) vulnerability exists in the Zimbra Exchange Web Services (EWS) SOAP interface due to improper handling of XML input. An authenticated attacker can submit crafted XML data that is processed by an XML parser with external entity resolution enabled. Successful exploitation may allow disclosure of sensitive local files from the server. |
| OpenEMR is a free and open source electronic health records and medical practice management application. Prior to version 8.0.0.3, an authenticated user with access to the Carecoordination module can upload a crafted CCDA document containing `<xi:include href="file:///etc/passwd" parse="text"/>` to read arbitrary files from the server. Version 8.0.0.3 patches the issue. |
| Tolgee is an open-source localization platform. Prior to 3.166.3, the XML parsers used for importing Android XML resources (.xml) and .resx files don't disable external entity processing. An authenticated user who can import translation files into a project can exploit this to read arbitrary files from the server and make server-side requests to internal services. This vulnerability is fixed in 3.166.3. |
| Improper Restriction of XML External Entity Reference vulnerability in XMLUtils.java in Slovensko.Digital Autogram allows remote unauthenticated attacker to conduct SSRF (Server Side Request Forgery) attacks and obtain unauthorized access to local files on filesystems running the vulnerable application. Successful exploitation requires the victim to visit a specially crafted website that sends request containing a specially crafted XML document to /sign endpoint of the local HTTP server run by the application. |
| Missing XML Validation vulnerability in Apache Struts, Apache Struts.
This issue affects Apache Struts: from 2.0.0 before 2.2.1; Apache Struts: from 2.2.1 through 6.1.0.
Users are recommended to upgrade to version 6.1.1, which fixes the issue. |
| Dell Storage Center - Dell Storage Manager, version(s) 20.1.20, contain(s) an Improper Restriction of XML External Entity Reference vulnerability. An unauthenticated attacker with adjacent network access could potentially exploit this vulnerability, leading to Information disclosure and Information tampering. |
| SysAid On-Prem versions <= 23.3.40 are vulnerable to an unauthenticated XML External Entity (XXE) vulnerability in the lshw processing functionality, allowing for administrator account takeover and file read primitives. |
| Critical XXE in Apache Tika (tika-parser-pdf-module) in Apache Tika 1.13 through and including 3.2.1 on all platforms allows an attacker to carry out XML External Entity injection via a crafted XFA file inside of a PDF. An attacker may be able to read sensitive data or trigger malicious requests to internal resources or third-party servers. Note that the tika-parser-pdf-module is used as a dependency in several Tika packages including at least: tika-parsers-standard-modules, tika-parsers-standard-package, tika-app, tika-grpc and tika-server-standard.
Users are recommended to upgrade to version 3.2.2, which fixes this issue. |
| Critical XXE in Apache Tika tika-core (1.13-3.2.1), tika-pdf-module (2.0.0-3.2.1) and tika-parsers (1.13-1.28.5) modules on all platforms allows an attacker to carry out XML External Entity injection via a crafted XFA file inside of a PDF.
This CVE covers the same vulnerability as in CVE-2025-54988. However, this CVE expands the scope of affected packages in two ways.
First, while the entrypoint for the vulnerability was the tika-parser-pdf-module as reported in CVE-2025-54988, the vulnerability and its fix were in tika-core. Users who upgraded the tika-parser-pdf-module but did not upgrade tika-core to >= 3.2.2 would still be vulnerable.
Second, the original report failed to mention that in the 1.x Tika releases, the PDFParser was in the "org.apache.tika:tika-parsers" module. |
| Dell Storage Center - Dell Storage Manager, version(s) 20.1.20, contain(s) an Improper Restriction of XML External Entity Reference vulnerability. A low privileged attacker with remote access could potentially exploit this vulnerability, leading to Unauthorized access. |
| GeoServer is an open source server that allows users to share and edit geospatial data. From version 2.26.0 to before 2.26.2 and before 2.25.6, an XML External Entity (XXE) vulnerability was identified. The application accepts XML input through a specific endpoint /geoserver/wms operation GetMap. However, this input is not sufficiently sanitized or restricted, allowing an attacker to define external entities within the XML request. This issue has been patched in GeoServer 2.25.6, GeoServer 2.26.3, and GeoServer 2.27.0. |
| A denial of service vulnerability exists when the XmlLite runtime (XmlLite.dll) improperly parses XML input. An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could cause a denial of service against an XML application.
A remote unauthenticated attacker could exploit this vulnerability by issuing specially crafted requests to an XML application.
The update addresses the vulnerability by correcting how the XmlLite runtime parses XML input. |
