             Summary: Update XStream lib to prevent XML External Entity (XXE) Processing
                 Key: OFBIZ-6959
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-6959
             Project: OFBiz
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: framework
    Affects Versions: Release Branch 15.12, Trunk, Release Branch 14.12, Release Branch 13.07, Release Branch 12.04
            Reporter: Jacques Le Roux
            Assignee: Jacques Le Roux
             Fix For: 14.12.01, 12.04.06, 13.07.03, 15.12.01


The XStream team has released the [1.4.9 stable version in March 15, 2016|https://x-stream.github.io/changes.html]

This version fixes the [XML External Entity (XXE) Processing security issue|https://www.owasp.org/index.php/XML_External_Entity_%28XXE%29_Processing]

Since OFBiz uses the DomDriver, with Java 6 at least in supported releases, [OFBiz seems not really vulnerable|https://x-stream.github.io/faq.html#Security_XXEVulnerability], but better to be safe than sorry

OWASP Dependency Check did not report this vulnerability. I will report to them.
