Descriptions

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.

dom4j versiones anteriores a 2.0.3 y versiones 2.1.x anteriores a 2.1.3, permite DTDs y External Entities por defecto, lo que podría permitir ataques de tipo XXE. Sin embargo, existe una documentación externa popular de OWASP que muestra cómo habilitar el comportamiento seguro no predeterminado en cualquier aplicación que use dom4j.
