Vulnerability from fkie_nvd - Published: 2021-09-19 18:15 - Updated: 2026-08-25 16:28
Severity
Summary
All versions of Apache Santuario - XML Security for Java prior to 2.2.3 and 2.1.7 are vulnerable to an issue where the "secureValidation" property is not passed correctly when creating a KeyInfo from a KeyInfoReference element. This allows an attacker to abuse an XPath Transform to extract any local .xml files in a RetrievalMethod element.
