CVE-2021-38555: An XML external entity (XXE) injection vulnerability exists in Apache Any23 StreamUtils.java

Severity: critical

Description:

An XML external entity (XXE) injection vulnerability was discovered in
the Any23 StreamUtils.java file and is known to affect Any23 versions
< 2.5. XML external entity injection (also known as XXE) is a web

application's processing of XML data. It often allows an attacker to
view files on the application server filesystem, and to interact with
any back-end or external systems that the application itself can
access.
