CVE-2016-5000 poi: XML External Entity (XXE) Vulnerability in Apache POI's XLSX2CSV Example
Last modified: 2016-10-17 20:52:13 EDT
Apache POI's XLSX2CSV example uses Java's XML components to parse OpenXML files. Applications and users that use XLSX2CSV and accept such files from end-users are vulnerable to XML External Entity (XXE) attacks, which allow remote attackers to bypass security restrictions and read arbitrary files via a crafted OpenXML document that provides an XML external entity declaration in conjunction with an entity reference. Affected versions: POI 3.5-3.13 Public via: http://seclists.org/bugtraq/2016/Jul/106
