CVE-2026-42212: CWE-400: Uncontrolled Resource Consumption in anzory SolidCAM-GPPL-IDE
SolidCAM-GPPL-IDE is an unofficial, independently developed extension, Postprocessor IDE for SolidCAM. From version 1.0.0 to before version 1.0.2, Opening a .gpp file in the SolidCAM Postprocessor IDE extension causes the language server to parse a companion .vmid file from the same directory (naming convention: foo.gpp to foo.vmid). The VMID parser called XDocument.Load(path) without any XmlReaderSettings, inheriting the framework defaults which in .NET 8 allow DTD processing. A malicious .vmid file could therefore: disclose local files via external entity references, exhaust memory via recursive entity expansion, and cause denial of service via oversized or deeply nested XML. This issue has been patched in version 1.0.2.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
The vulnerability in SolidCAM-GPPL-IDE occurs because the VMID parser uses XDocument.Load(path) without XmlReaderSettings, inheriting .NET 8 defaults that allow DTD processing. This enables an attacker to craft malicious .vmid files that exploit XML external entity (XXE) processing and recursive entity expansion, causing uncontrolled resource consumption (CWE-400), XML external entity injection (CWE-611), and potentially denial of service (CWE-776). The affected versions are from 1.0.0 up to but not including 1.0.2. The issue is fixed in version 1.0.2.
Potential Impact
An attacker who can supply or influence the .vmid file parsed by the SolidCAM-GPPL-IDE language server can cause high resource consumption leading to denial of service or potentially disclose local files via XML external entity references. This can disrupt the normal operation of the IDE and impact availability and confidentiality of local data.
Mitigation Recommendations
This vulnerability has been patched in SolidCAM-GPPL-IDE version 1.0.2. Users should upgrade to version 1.0.2 or later to remediate this issue. No other mitigation guidance is provided or required as the fix addresses the root cause by disabling unsafe XML parsing behaviors.
