Improper Restriction of XML External Entity Reference in org.cyclonedx:cyclonedx-core-java
Summary
Improper Restriction of XML External Entity Reference in org.cyclonedx:cyclonedx-core-java
Original description
The description as published by the source.
The CycloneDX core module provides a model representation of the SBOM along with utilities to assist in creating, validating, and parsing SBOMs. Before deserializing CycloneDX Bill of Materials in XML format, cyclonedx-core-java leverages XPath expressions to determine the schema version of the BOM. The DocumentBuilderFactory used to evaluate XPath expressions was not configured securely, making the library vulnerable to XML External Entity (XXE) injection. This vulnerability has been fixed in cyclonedx-core-java version 9.0.4.
