[jira] [Commented] (MCHECKSTYLE-375) Upgrade all test XML doctypes
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MCHECKSTYLE-375?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=16827612#comment-16827612 ]
Roman Ivanov commented on MCHECKSTYLE-375:
------------------------------------------
plugin is using old/unsecure urls https://github.com/apache/maven-checkstyle-plugin/search?p=2&q=Puppy+Crawl&unscoped_q=Puppy+Crawl so it is vulnerable.
> 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
> Priority: Major
>
> 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">
> ````
