["Jean-Baptiste Onofré (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KARAF-4217?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Jean-Baptiste Onofré resolved KARAF-4217.
-----------------------------------------
       Resolution: Won't Fix
    Fix Version/s:     (was: 4.1.1)
                       (was: 4.0.9)

Not really a problem as the XML parser is only for the Maven {{settings.xml}}.

> 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.
