Descriptions

The (1) BasicParserPool, (2) StaticBasicParserPool, (3) XML Decrypter, and (4) SAML Decrypter in Shibboleth OpenSAML-Java before 2.6.1 set the expandEntityReferences property to true, which allows remote attackers to conduct XML external entity (XXE) attacks via a crafted XML DOCTYPE declaration.

(1) BasicParserPool, (2) StaticBasicParserPool, (3) XML Decrypter y (4) SAML Decrypter en Shibboleth OpenSAML-Java anterior a 2.6.1 establece la propiedad expandEntityReferences como "true", lo que permite a atacantes remotos realizar ataques de entidad externa XML (XXE) a través de una declaración XML DOCTYPE manipulada.

It was found that the ParserPool and Decrypter classes in the OpenSAML Java implementation resolved external entities, permitting XML External Entity (XXE) attacks. A remote attacker could use this flaw to read files accessible to the user running the application server, and potentially perform other more advanced XXE attacks.
