### Description After reviewing the latest Apache Lucene source code (version 10.3.2), in DOMUtils.java, line 197, the application parses XML documents using a DOM parser without explicitly disabling external entity references. This insecure configuration may allow XML External Entity (XXE) attacks if user-controlled XML input is processed. <img width="928" height="802" alt="Image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/4f53f3d2-14ae-4fc2-ba0d-c2ff69e11956"; /> A sample test case was implemented using the loadXML function to evaluate XXE behavior. The function processed a malicious XML payload containing an external entity, resulting in the disclosure of the referenced local file contents. <img width="1139" height="512" alt="Image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/7906a665-3e2d-40e5-bee1-6ec95e509d66"; /> <img width="1124" height="167" alt="Image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/fd396a9d-7de3-475a-9dd9-b079771d5091"; /> ### Version and environment details _No response_ -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
