A vulnerability in Spring Boot Actuators's 'jolokia' endpoint allows remote attackers to perform an XML External Entities (XXE) attack and include content stored on a remote server as if it was its own. This has the potential to allow the execution of arbitrary code and/or disclosure of sensitive information from the target machine.
