[jira] [Resolved] (AXIS2-5879) WSDL20ToAxisServiceBuilder.java:1235 & 1255 (XML External Entity Injection)

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AXIS2-5879?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Andreas Veithen resolved AXIS2-5879.
------------------------------------
    Resolution: Invalid

This code is used by the code generator to read the WSDL supplied by the user. If the user wishes to process a WSDL with external entities, then we should just do that. There is no security risk here.

>             Project: Axis2
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: kernel
>    Affects Versions: 1.7.6

> XML parser configured in WSDL20ToAxisServiceBuilder.java:1235 and 1255 does not prevent nor limit external entities resolution. This can expose the parser to an XML External Entities attack.
> Proposed solution: Always disable external entities:
> {code:java}
> 	public static DocumentBuilderFactory createDocumentBuilderFactory() {
> 		DocumentBuilderFactory factory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
> 		factory.setNamespaceAware(true);
> 			try {
> 				factory.setFeature("http://xml.org/sax/features/external-general-entities", false);
> 				factory.setFeature("http://xml.org/sax/features/external-parameter-entities", false);
> 			}
> 			catch (ParserConfigurationException e) {
> 				throw new IllegalStateException(e);
> 			}
> 		return factory;
> 	}
> {code}
