Short explanation
Apache Axis2/Java versions contain an XML External Entity injection vulnerability due to the processing of external entities when clients build services from WSDL URLs. This issue can lead to local file reading or triggered network requests.
Attackers who control WSDL or XSD documents can access sensitive local files or trigger network requests via the JVM.
What should be done?
- Upgrading to version 2.0.2 or later
- Following vendor advisories
Chain of evidence and sources
Apache Axis2/Java 2.0.1 ve önceki sürümler, WSDL/XSD içe aktarmaları yoluyla XML Dış Varlık Enjeksiyonu zafiyetinden etkilenmektedir.
Kullanıcıların bu sorunu gidermek için sürüm 2.0.2 sürümüne yükseltme yapması önerilmektedir.
Show the technical text from the sources
Improper Restriction of XML External Entity Reference vulnerability in Apache Axis2/Java. When a client built an AxisService from a WSDL URL, through ServiceClient or AxisService.createClientSideAxisService, wsdl4j import resolution was enabled and the documents named by wsdl:import and xsd:import were parsed by wsdl4j's own XML parser, which processes DOCTYPE declarations and external entities. An attacker who controls a WSDL, or a document it imports, could therefore read local files or make the JVM issue network requests. This issue affects Apache Axis2/Java: through 2.0.1. Users are recommended to upgrade to version 2.0.2, which fixes the issue.
