[jira] [Commented] (LUCENE-8291) Possible security issue when
parsing XML documents containing external entity references
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-8291?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=16543201#comment-16543201 ]
Andrejs Aleksejevs commented on LUCENE-8291:
--------------------------------------------
I have used this construction to load database configurations, now I got an error.
What's the best way to load configurations for each core in solrconfig.xml?
{{<xi:include href="file:///var/lib/solr/conf/database.dih.prod.cr.xml" xmlns:xi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XInclude"> }}
{{<xi:fallback> }}
{{ <}}{{xi:include href="file:///var/lib/solr/conf/database.dih.dev.cr.xml" /> }}
{{</xi:fallback>}}
{{ </xi:include>}}

> It appears that in QueryTemplateManager.java lines 149 and 198 and in DOMUtils.java line 204 XML is parsed without disabling external entity references (XXE). This is described in [http://cwe.mitre.org/data/definitions/611.html] and possible mitigations are listed here: [https://www.owasp.org/index.php/XML_External_Entity_(XXE)_Prevention_Cheat_Sheet]
> All recent versions of lucene are affected.
