Allowed

Improper Restriction of Recursive Entity References in DTDs ('XML Entity Expansion')

Abstraction: Base · Status: Draft

API response cwe.mitre.org

The product uses XML documents and allows their structure to be defined with a Document Type Definition (DTD), but it does not properly control the number of recursive definitions of entities.

142 vulnerabilities reference this CWE, most recent first.

Summary
XML Entity Expansion (Billion Laughs Attack) on Pippo 1.12.0 results in Denial of Service.Entities are created recursively and large amounts of heap memory is taken. Eventually, the JVM process will run out of memory. Otherwise, if the OS does not bound the memory on that process, memory will continue to be exhausted and will affect other processes on the system.
Severity
No CVSS data available.

Details

A stack overflow in pupnp 1.16.1 can cause the denial of service through the Parser_parseDocument() function. ixmlNode_free() will release a child node recursively, which will consume stack space and lead to a crash.

Summary
Zendframework Denial of Service vector via XEE injection
Details

Zend_Dom, Zend_Feed, Zend_Soap, and Zend_XmlRpc are vulnerable to XML Entity Expansion (XEE) vectors, leading to Denial of Service vectors. XEE attacks occur when the XML DOCTYPE declaration includes XML entity definitions that contain either recursive or circular references; this leads to CPU and memory consumption, making Denial of Service exploits trivial to implement.

Summary
pypdf: Manipulated XMP metadata entity declarations can exhaust RAM
Details

Impact

An attacker who uses this vulnerability can craft a PDF which leads to large memory usage. This requires parsing the XMP metadata.

Patches

This has been fixed in pypdf==6.10.0.

Workarounds

If you cannot upgrade yet, consider applying the changes from PR #3724.

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2019-11-12 22:59 – Updated: 2024-02-12 11:49

Summary
Information disclosure through processing of external XML entities
Details

An XML entity injection vulnerability exists in Magento 2.2 prior to 2.2.10, Magento 2.3 prior to 2.3.3 or 2.3.2-p1. An authenticated admin user can craft document type definition for an XML representing XML layout. The crafted document type definition and XML layout allow processing of external entities which can lead to information disclosure.

As per the Magento Release 2.3.3, if you have already implemented the pre-release version of this patch (2.3.2-p1), it is highly recommended to promptly upgrade to 2.3.2-p2.

  ]
}
Mitigation
Operation

If possible, prohibit the use of DTDs or use an XML parser that limits the expansion of recursive DTD entities.

Mitigation
Implementation

Before parsing XML files with associated DTDs, scan for recursive entity declarations and do not continue parsing potentially explosive content.

CAPEC-197: Exponential Data Expansion

An adversary submits data to a target application which contains nested exponential data expansion to produce excessively large output. Many data format languages allow the definition of macro-like structures that can be used to simplify the creation of complex structures. However, this capability can be abused to create excessive demands on a processor's CPU and memory. A small number of nested expansions can result in an exponential growth in demands on memory.
