Attack ChainAIDerived
Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires an Akana endpoint that accepts attacker-supplied XML and routes it through the vulnerable XML-to-JSON processing path; the attacker must be able to submit XML containing a DOCTYPE/external-entity declaration. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N, VC:H, SC:H, SI:L) describes a clean unauthenticated, low-complexity, no-interaction network attack with high confidentiality impact on the vulnerable system and a subsequent-system confidentiality impact of High - consistent with XXE used for local file disclosure and SSRF into adjacent/backend systems. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in. |
| Remediation | Apply the Perforce security patch included in the latest release of the supported Akana versions (upgrade off 2026.1, 2025.1.1, and any build before 2024.1.6 to the patched supported release; consult the Perforce portal advisory at https://portal.perforce.com/s/cve/a91Qi000003CxPBIA0/xml-external-entity-in-akana-api-platform for the exact patched build for your track). … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
