             Summary: ConvertUtils.java:225 (XML External Entity Injection)
                 Key: AXIS2-5877
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AXIS2-5877
             Project: Axis2
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: jaxws
    Affects Versions: 1.7.6
            Reporter: Donald Kwakkel
            Priority: Critical


XML parser configured in ConvertUtils.java:225 does not prevent nor limit 
external entities resolution. This can expose the parser to an XML External 
Entities attack.

Proposed fix: Enable where TransformerFactory is used always the secure 
processing feature:


{code:java}
        public static TransformerFactory createTransformerFactory() {
                TransformerFactory factory = TransformerFactory.newInstance();
                try {
                        
factory.setFeature(XMLConstants.FEATURE_SECURE_PROCESSING, true);
                }
                catch (TransformerConfigurationException e) {
                        throw new IllegalStateException(e);
                }
                return factory;
        }
{code}
