Fair enough. I'll set the default to false.

> Key: NIFI-4125
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-4125
> Project: Apache NiFi
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Core Framework
> Affects Versions: 1.3.0
> Reporter: Yuri
> Priority: Minor
> Labels: newbie, security, xslt
>
> Since data flows can generally deal with non-trusted data, the processors
> should handle it in a secure manner.
> In case of XML there are various known vulnerabilities -
> [OWASP|https://www.owasp.org/index.php/XML_External_Entity_%28XXE%29_Processing].
> Some can be mitigated via XML parser/XSLT Processor features.
> The TransformXml processor should have a setting enabling these secure
> settings.
