Doc Text:
It was found that the RPC interface in Satellite would resolve external entities, allowing an attacker to conduct XML External Entity (XXE) attacks. A remote attacker could use this flaw to read files accessible to the user running the Satellite server, and potentially perform other more advanced XXE attacks.

Description Kurt Seifried 2015-01-29 14:28:53 EST
Travis Emmert reports:

The RPC interface that exists on the satellite server at http(s)://hostname/rpc/api is vulnerable to a XML external entities attack. The XML parser that handles the body of the RPC request is insecurely configured, allowing for a wide range of attacks.
