CVE-2022-25312: An XML external entity (XXE) injection vulnerability exists in the Apache Any23 RDFa XSLTStylesheet extractor

[Lewis John Mcgibbney]

Description:

An XML external entity (XXE) injection vulnerability was discovered in the Any23 RDFa XSLTStylesheet extractor and is known to affect Any23 versions < 2.7. XML external entity injection (also known as XXE) is a web security vulnerability that allows an attacker to interfere with an application's processing of XML data. It often allows an attacker to view files on the application server filesystem, and to interact with any back-end or external systems that the application itself can access.

Resolution:

This issue is fixed in Apache Any23 2.7 which can be downloaded from https://any23.apache.org/download.html. We strongly encourage all Any23 users to upgrade to Apache Any23 2.7.

The Apache Any23 Project Management Committee would like to thank Lion Tree a.k.a liontree0110 for reporting this issue.
