CVE-2026-17615 Aug 31, 16:15 HIGH This Week

Unauthenticated remote file read in RESTEasy's SourceProvider component allows network attackers to exfiltrate arbitrary server-side files by exploiting an XML External Entity (XXE) flaw. The vulnerability exists because SourceProvider.writeTo() instantiates a SAXParser without disabling external entity resolution, so any endpoint that accepts application/xml and returns a Source or StreamSource type will parse attacker-controlled DOCTYPE declarations and leak file contents in the HTTP response. CVSS rates this 7.5 (High) with full confidentiality impact; no public exploit code or CISA KEV listing is identified at time of analysis, but the low-complexity unauthenticated network vector makes this a credible threat wherever RESTEasy-backed XML endpoints are exposed.

CVE-2026-82880 Aug 31, 10:51 HIGH PATCH This Week

XML external entity injection across three document parsers in YaCy Search Server through version 1.941 enables unauthenticated network attackers to exfiltrate arbitrary local file contents via the search crawler. When the YaCy crawler fetches attacker-controlled SVG, FreeMind, or OpenSearch XML documents containing malicious DOCTYPE SYSTEM entity declarations, the unprotected SAX parsers resolve those entities and write the referenced file contents directly into the searchable index. No public exploit code or active exploitation has been confirmed at time of analysis, but a patch commit is available upstream and the XXE technique is trivially reproducible.

CVE-2026-55848 Aug 28, 22:31 HIGH POC PATCH GHSA This Week

Unauthenticated XML External Entity (XXE) injection in MapFish Print's GML layer parser allows remote attackers to read arbitrary server-side files and conduct server-side request forgery (SSRF) via a single crafted HTTP POST to the /api/print3/print endpoint. All 3.x branches prior to 3.28.30, 3.30.32, 3.31.24, and 3.33.16, as well as 4.x prior to 4.0.5, are affected. A fully functional proof-of-concept exploit has been publicly disclosed in the GitHub Security Advisory GHSA-5v29-34h8-v68r, enabling exfiltration of Kubernetes service account tokens, OS credential files, and TLS certificates with no authentication required.

XML External Entity (XXE) injection in the XSLTransformer component of pkp-lib - the shared PHP library underlying Open Journal Systems, Open Monograph Press, and Open Preprint Systems - allows high-privileged authenticated users to force server-side external entity resolution during XSLT processing, enabling local file disclosure and potential server-side request forgery. Affected branches span all three actively maintained release lines (3.3.x, 3.4.x, 3.5.x) with vendor-released patches confirmed for each. No public exploit code has been identified and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog.

Unauthenticated remote file disclosure in Cisco BroadWorks stems from the OCI XML Parser permitting external entity resolution by default, allowing an attacker to read arbitrary filesystem files with the privileges of the BroadWorks process account. The affected component is the Open Client Interface - Provisioning (OCI-P) service, reachable over the network with no authentication or user interaction required, yielding a CVSS 7.5 score with C:H. No public exploit has been identified at time of analysis, and this vulnerability has not been confirmed as actively exploited by CISA KEV.

XML External Entity injection in Dell Command Update (DCU) versions prior to 5.7.1 enables a local attacker with low-privilege access to perform server-side request forgery and escalate privileges. The vulnerability stems from insufficient restriction of XML external entity references during DCU's XML parsing operations. No public exploit code or CISA KEV listing exists at time of analysis, but the scope-changed CVSS vector (S:C) and high confidentiality impact confirm that exploitation crosses component boundaries, potentially exposing sensitive resources beyond DCU itself.

XML External Entity (XXE) injection in Dell OpenManage Enterprise versions prior to 4.7.0 allows a remote low-privileged authenticated attacker to read arbitrary files from the server or conduct server-side request forgery (SSRF), resulting in significant information exposure. The CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N) confirms low-barrier network exploitation - any authenticated user can trigger the flaw with no interaction from other parties. No public exploit code or CISA KEV listing has been identified at time of analysis, though XXE exploitation techniques are universally understood and require no specialized tooling.

XML External Entity injection in JetBrains IntelliJ IDEA's Eclipse settings importer exposes sensitive local files on developer workstations running versions prior to 2026.2.1. The flaw (CWE-611) is triggered when a user imports a maliciously crafted Eclipse settings XML file, allowing an attacker to read arbitrary files accessible to the IDE process. No public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis, and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog.

Local file disclosure in JetBrains IntelliJ IDEA before 2026.2.1 is possible through an XXE injection in the Hadoop ResourceManager integration component. When a developer opens or processes a maliciously crafted XML-based project or configuration file, the unsanitized XML parser resolves external entity references and leaks arbitrary local files - including SSH keys, credentials, and application secrets - to the attacker. The CVSS vector (AV:L/UI:R) confines the risk to local or social-engineering attack paths; no public exploit or CISA KEV listing has been identified at time of analysis.

XXE injection in Datavane TIS v5.0.0 exposes authenticated attackers a path to SSRF and out-of-band file exfiltration against the server hosting the application. The `doEditWorkflow` endpoint accepts a `taskScript` parameter parsed by an unhardened Java `DocumentBuilderFactory` that resolves external entities and loads external DTDs, allowing a crafted XML payload to trigger outbound HTTP requests to attacker-controlled infrastructure and read local files accessible to the TIS process user, including configuration files and Derby database credentials. No public exploit has been identified at time of analysis, but VulnCheck has published a dedicated advisory and the upstream patch commit is publicly accessible, providing clear technical signal about the vulnerable code path.
