CVE-2013-4152: Improper Restriction of XML External Entity Reference

January 23, 2014 (updated November 28, 2016)

The Spring OXM wrapper when using the JAXB marshaller, does not disable entity resolution, which allows context-dependent attackers to read arbitrary files, cause a denial of service, and conduct CSRF attacks via an XML external entity declaration in conjunction with an entity reference in a (1) DOMSource, (2) StAXSource, (3) SAXSource, or (4) StreamSource, aka an XML External Entity (XXE) issue.
