  name: Akamai CloudTest < 60 2025.06.02 - XML External Entity (XXE)
  author: xbow,3th1c_yuk1
  severity: critical
  description: |
    Akamai CloudTest before 60 2025.06.02 (12988) allows file inclusion via XML External Entity (XXE) injection.
  impact: |
    Unauthenticated attackers can exploit XXE injection to read arbitrary files from the server through malicious XML entities in SOAP requests.
  remediation: |
    Upgrade Akamai CloudTest to version 60 2025.06.02 (12988) or later that properly disables external entity processing.
