> XML parser configured in ConvertUtils.java:225 does not prevent nor limit external entities resolution. This can expose the parser to an XML External Entities attack.
> Proposed fix: Enable where TransformerFactory is used always the secure processing feature:
> {code:java}
> 	public static TransformerFactory createTransformerFactory() {
> 		TransformerFactory factory = TransformerFactory.newInstance();
> 		try {
> 			factory.setFeature(XMLConstants.FEATURE_SECURE_PROCESSING, true);
> 		}
> 		catch (TransformerConfigurationException e) {
> 			throw new IllegalStateException(e);
> 		}
> 		return factory;
> 	}
> {code}
> Also in XSLTTemplateProcessor.java:147 (XSLT Injection) and other locations where this and DocumentBuilderFactory is handled wrong. See attached screenshots.
