>             Project: Axis2
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: codegen, wsdl
>    Affects Versions: 1.8.0

> The vulnerability is present in the class org.apache.axis2.wsdl.codegen.extension.JAXBRIExtension   of method getNamespaceAwareDocumentBuilder()  , which is responsible for getting a DocumentBuilder object that supports namespace resolution. The vulnerable call chain we discover is: *engage(CodeGenConfiguration configuration)→loadAdditionalSchemas()→getNamespaceAwareDocumentBuilder().*
> Given that the XML schema files stored in the /org/apache/axis2/wsdl/codegen/schema/ which is compromised by a hacker, the victim conducts regular process which incorporates the execution of method engage(), resulting in an XML External Entity (XXE) Injection attack.
