Andreas Veithen resolved AXIS2-5878.
------------------------------------
Resolution: Invalid
This method is only used in a single place to validate XML entered by a user
into a JTextArea. There is no security risk here.
> ValidateXMLFile.java:55 (XML External Entity Injection)
> -------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: AXIS2-5878
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AXIS2-5878
> Project: Axis2
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: ide plugins
> Affects Versions: 1.7.6
> Reporter: Donald Kwakkel
> Priority: Critical
> Labels: security
>
> XML parser configured in ValidateXMLFile.java:55 does not prevent nor limit
> external entities resolution. This can expose the parser to an XML External
> Entities attack.
> Proposed solution: Always disable external entities when creating a
> DocumentBuilderFactory:
> {code:java}
> public static DocumentBuilderFactory createDocumentBuilderFactory() {
> DocumentBuilderFactory factory =
> DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
> factory.setNamespaceAware(true);
> try {
>
> factory.setFeature("http://xml.org/sax/features/external-general-entities";,
> false);
>
> factory.setFeature("http://xml.org/sax/features/external-parameter-entities";,
> false);
> }
> catch (ParserConfigurationException e) {
> throw new IllegalStateException(e);
> }
> return factory;
> }
> {code}
