CVE-2011-3600: Apache OFBiz - XML External Entity Injection

id: CVE-2011-3600

info:
  name: Apache OFBiz - XML External Entity Injection
  author: daffainfo,pikpikcu
  severity: high
  description: |
    The /webtools/control/xmlrpc endpoint in OFBiz XML-RPC event handler is exposed to External Entity Injection by passing DOCTYPE declarations with executable payloads that discloses the contents of files in the filesystem. In addition, it can also be used to probe for open network ports, and figure out from returned error messages whether a file exists or not. This affects OFBiz 16.11.01 to 16.11.04.
  impact: |
    Attackers can disclose sensitive filesystem data, probe network ports, and determine file existence, leading to information disclosure and potential further exploitation.
  remediation: |
    Update to the latest OFBiz version or apply security patches addressing XML external entity vulnerabilities.
