Description Jason Shepherd 2017-05-07 21:55:01 EDT
RESTEasy SourceProvider unmarshals some content without XML External Entity protection. An attacker can use this flaw to launch an XXE attack on a RESTEasy endpoint which uses a wildcard mime-type of mulitpart mime-type. Its only possible to launch an attack if a mime-type of 'application/*+xml' is used specifically.

Comment 12 Jason Shepherd 2017-05-18 20:34:44 EDT
Statement:

After further analysis of this issue, it was determined that the flaw was in the XML Frameworks implementation on EAP 7, not in RESTEasy.

If you use a javax.xml.transform.TransformerFactory to process a javax.xml.transform.Source instance please be aware of this outstanding issue with that functionality on EAP 7.0.x:
