             Summary: XML External Entity Injection
                 Key: KARAF-4217
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KARAF-4217
             Project: Karaf
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: 4.0.3
            Reporter: Eduardo Aguinaga


HP Fortify SCA and SciTools Understand were used to perform an application security analysis on the karaf source code.

XML parser configured in MavenConfigService.java:74 does not prevent nor limit external entities resolution. This can expose the parser to an XML External Entities attack. See external issue URL.
