CWE-611: XML External Entity (XXE) vulnerabilities

IBM Financial Transaction Manager (FTM) for RedHat OpenShift could allow a remote authenticated attacker to obtain sensitive information due to improper restriction of XML external entity references.

MPXJ is an open source library to read and write project plans from a variety of file formats and databases. From 5.5.5 until 16.4.1, MerlinReader creates a DocumentBuilder with default settings while parsing XML from the ZTIMEINTERVALS column of a Merlin project SQLite database, leaving doctype declarations and external entities enabled. A crafted database can cause the parser to read an arbitrary local file, although MPXJ's subsequent handling of the parsed XML makes disclosure of the file contents unlikely. This issue is fixed in version 16.4.1.

IBM MQ 9.1.0.0 through 9.1.0.37 LTS, 9.2.0.0 through 9.2.0.43 LTS, 9.3.0.0 through 9.3.0.41 LTS, 9.3.0.0 through 9.3.5.1 CD, 9.4.0.0 through 9.4.0.25 LTS, 9.4.0.0 through 9.4.5.1 CD, and 10.0.0.0 is vulnerable to an XML external entity injection (XXE) attack when processing XML data. A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to expose sensitive information or consume memory resources.

IBM Business Automation Workflow containers and traditional may use programming model artifacts that are vulnerable to XML Entity Injection attacks by default.

IBM DataStage on Cloud Pak for Data 5.4.0.0 IBM DataStage PxXMLInput operator could allow a remote authenticated attacker to obtain sensitive information due to an XML external entity (XXE) injection.

CVE-2026-18061 is an XML External Entity (XXE) vulnerability in the RemoteQueryCachePlugin of AWS Advanced JDBC Wrapper versions 3.3.0 through 4.2.0. This flaw allows an attacker with write access to the shared cache infrastructure to disclose sensitive files from application hosts that read cached query results. Sensitive data exposed may include stored database credentials and IAM role credentials. AWS has addressed this issue in version 4.3.0 and later.

When XML batch processing is turned on and the XPath option is selected, the raw batch input goes through a default XPath/JAXP setup with no entity restrictions, so XXE injection can allow data exfiltration and denial-of-service attacks.

The XSLT Transformer Step builds a bare TransformerFactory without the proper security options set, so XXE injection can allow data exfiltration and denial-of-service attacks.

A flaw resulting in XML external entity (XXE) was found in Akana API Platform in which references were improperly restricted during XML-to-JSON processing. The issue affects Akana versions 2026.1, 2025.1.1, and all versions before 2024.1.6 (including older unsupported versions of Akana) and has been fixed as a security patch in the latest release of supported versions.

CVE-2026-84941 is an information disclosure vulnerability in the SAML Single Sign-On (SSO) feature of TP-Link Omada Software Controller for Windows. It affects versions from 0 up to but not including 6.2.14.11, including version 0. The flaw arises from insufficient validation of user-supplied SAML metadata by authenticated users with SAML configuration privileges, potentially allowing unauthorized access to sensitive information. The vulnerability has a medium severity with a CVSS 4.0 base score of 6.9. No known exploits are reported in the wild, and no official patch or remediation details are provided in the input data.

An XML External Entity (XXE) vulnerability exists in the XML collector of multiple versions of OpenNMS Meridian and Horizon. When OpenNMS collects XML from a source whose response is attacker-controlled (for example a compromised monitored host or an HTTP man-in-the-middle position), the collector's XML parser resolves external entities and external DTDs. This allows an attacker to read files accessible to the OpenNMS service account, including database credentials, and to induce out-of-band requests. The solution is to upgrade to Meridian 2024.3.13, 2025.0.10 and Horizon 36.0.4 or newer. Meridian and Horizon installation instructions state that they are intended for installation within an organization's private networks and should not be directly accessible from the Internet.

The API is prone to XML external entity (XXE) injection. By default, XML external entity support is enabled. This issue affects NanoXML: 2.2.3.
