Summary
Ucum-java has an XXE vulnerability in XML parsing
Details

Impact

XML parsing performed by the UcumEssenceService is vulnerable to XML external entity injections. A processed XML file with a malicious DTD tag could produce XML containing data from the host system. This impacts use cases where ucum is being used to within a host where external clients can submit XML.

Patches

Release 1.0.9 of ucum fixes this vulnerability

Workarounds

Ensure that the source xml for instantiating UcumEssenceService is trusted.
