> ValidateXMLFile.java:55 (XML External Entity Injection)
> -------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: AXIS2-5878
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AXIS2-5878
> Project: Axis2
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: ide plugins
> Affects Versions: 1.7.6
> Reporter: Donald Kwakkel
> Priority: Critical
> Labels: security
>
> XML parser configured in ValidateXMLFile.java:55 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 when creating a DocumentBuilderFactory:
> {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}
