Technical details

An XML External Entity (XXE) vulnerability exists in the `xpath_filter()` function within `changedetectionio/html_tools.py`. The application uses `lxml.etree.XMLParser` to parse XML/RSS content but fails to explicitly disable external entity resolution (`resolve_entities=False`), DTD loading, or network lookups. An attacker who controls the XML content of a monitored URL can trigger this vulnerability by using an XPath include filter. This allows the attacker to disclose sensitive local files from the host system, which are then included in the watch output, diff history, or notification channels. The vulnerability is present in versions up to and including 0.54.9.
