Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
It was found that the parsing of XMP and other XML formats in PDF by Apache PDFBox would expand entity references. A remote, unauthenticated attacker could use this flaw to read files accessible to the user running the application server, and potentially perform other more advanced XXE attacks.

Description Andrej Nemec 2016-05-27 05:32:17 EDT
Apache PDFBox parses different XML data within PDF files such as XMP and the initialization of the XML parsers did not protect against XML External Entity (XXE) vulnerabilities.
