[jira] [Created] (MCHECKSTYLE-375) Upgrade all test XML doctypes

richard created MCHECKSTYLE-375:
-----------------------------------

             Summary: Upgrade all test XML doctypes
                 Key: MCHECKSTYLE-375
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MCHECKSTYLE-375
             Project: Maven Checkstyle Plugin
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: checkstyle:check, checkstyle:checkstyle
    Affects Versions: 3.0.0
            Reporter: richard


The tests used to test maven-checkstyle are using old DTDs and unsecure "http" locations. This is related to CVE-2019-9658. The security issue is in the parser that is used to parse this file. It leaves any code that parses this file vulnerable to XXE via a MITM.

 

All doctypes used in maven-checkstyle repo (configurations, suppressions, import controls, etc...) should be updated to use the latest URL and public DOCTYPEs.

Example:
````

<!DOCTYPE module PUBLIC
          "-//Checkstyle//DTD Checkstyle Configuration 1.3//EN"
"https://checkstyle.org/dtds/configuration_1_3.dtd">

````
