    Tainted-saxreader-xxe-spring

    Tainted saxreader xxe spring

    The application is using an XML parser that has not been safely configured. This might lead to XML External Entity (XXE) vulnerabilities when parsing user-controlled input. An attacker can include document type definitions (DTDs) or XIncludes which can interact with internal or external hosts. XXE can lead to other vulnerabilities, such as Local File Inclusion (LFI), Remote Code Execution (RCE), and Server-side request forgery (SSRF), depending on the application configuration. An attacker can also use DTDs to expand recursively, leading to a Denial-of-Service (DoS) attack, also known as a Billion Laughs Attack. It is our recommendation to secure this parser against XXE attacks by configuring the SAXReader parser with parser.setFeature(http://apache.org/xml/features/disallow-doctype-decl, true). Alternatively, configuring both of the below also provides protection against XXE attacks. parser.setFeature("http://xml.org/sax/features/external-general-entities",false) praser.setFeature("http://xml.org/sax/features/external-parameter-entities", false). For more information, see: Java XXE prevention
