Description David Jorm 2013-08-22 07:39:40 UTC 
It was found that Restlet is vulnerable to XXE (XML eXternal Entity) attacks. If a Restlet endpoint using XML transport, a user can submit a request containing an external XML entity. This XML entity will be resolved, allowing a remote attacker to read files in the context of the user running the application server.
