CVE-2020-10683: XEE

Published Mar 29, 2019
·
Updated

A flaw was found in dom4j library. By using the default SaxReader() provided by Dom4J, external DTDs and External Entities are allowed, resulting in a possible XXE.

Other sources

dom4j before 2.0.3 and 2.1.x before 2.1.3 allows external DTDs and External Entities by default, which might enable XXE attacks. However, there is popular external documentation from OWASP showing how to enable the safe, non-default behavior in any application that uses dom4j.

— Ubuntu

dom4j could allow a remote authenticated attacker to obtain sensitive information, caused by an XML external entity (XXE) error when processing XML data. By sending specially crafted XML data, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to obtain sensitive information.

— IBM
