Technical details

The vulnerability is an XML External Entity (XXE) injection in the getSource method that fails to properly restrict entity references. An unauthenticated remote attacker can send a crafted XML document with external entity references to trigger arbitrary server-side requests, allowing the XML parser to embed file contents or remote server responses back into the XML for processing and disclosure.
