Description Andrej Nemec 2016-03-29 07:29:18 UTC 
XStream (x-stream.github.io) is a Java library to marshal Java objects into 
XML and back. For this purpose it supports a lot of different XML parsers. 
Some of those can also process external entities which was enabled by 
default.

An attacker could therefore provide manipulated XML as input to access data 
on the file system, see
