Description David Jorm 2014-03-25 03:12:16 UTC

It was found that the Xalan-Java secure processing feature imposes insufficient constraints:

* Java properties, bound to XSLT 1.0 system-property(), are accessible.

* Output properties that allow to load arbitrary classes or resources are allowed.

* Arbitrary code can be executed if the Bean Scripting Framework (BSF) is in the classpath, as it allows to spawn available JARs with secure processing disabled, effectively bypassing the intended protection.

A remote attacker who is able to provide XSL that will be processed by Xalan-Java could use this flaw to bypass the constraints of the secure processing feature. Depending on the components available on the classpath, this could lead to arbitrary remote code execution in the context of the application server running the application that uses Xalan-Java.
