CVE-2018-11788
Estado: ModificadaCrítica (9.8)—
Apache Karaf provides a features deployer, which allows users to "hot deploy" a features XML by dropping the file directly in the deploy folder. The features XML is parsed by XMLInputFactory class. Apache Karaf XMLInputFactory class doesn't contain any mitigation codes against XXE. This is a potential security risk as an user can inject external XML entities in Apache Karaf version prior to 4.1.7 or 4.2.2. It has been fixed in Apache Karaf 4.1.7 and 4.2.2 releases.

El XML de funcionalidades es analizado por la clase XMLInputFactory. En Apache Karaf, la clase XMLInputFactory no contiene ningún código de mitigación contra XEE (XML External Entity). Este es un riesgo de seguridad potencial, ya que un usuario puede inyectar XEE (XML External Entity) en las versiones de Karaf anteriores a la 4.1.7 o en la 4.2.2. Se ha solucionado en las distribuciones de Apache Karaf en sus versiones 4.1.7 y 4.2.2."
