    Usage of Apple’s native XML Parser was observed where the parser is explicitly instructed to resolve external entities. This can lead to XXE attacks if untrusted input is parsed. Consider disabling this functionality where feasible.
    Likelihood: LOW
    Confidence: HIGH
    CWE:
    - CWE-611: Improper Restriction of XML External Entity Reference
    OWASP:
    - A04:2017 - XML External Entities (XXE)
