GHSA-2mpf-m756-hxjm Spring Web Services: Jaxp13 XPath XXE via StreamSource and SAXSource

• Maven org.springframework.ws:spring-xml: >= 5.0.0, < 5.0.2 → fixed in 5.0.2 • Maven org.springframework.ws:spring-xml: >= 4.1.0, < 4.1.4 → fixed in 4.1.4 • Maven org.springframework.ws:spring-xml: >= 4.0.0, <= 4.0.18 (no fix yet) • Maven org.springframework.ws:spring-xml: >= 3.1.0, <= 3.1.8 (no fix yet)

Jaxp13XPathTemplate evaluated XPath expressions for StreamSource and SAXSource inputs using a code path that parsed attacker-controlled XML with the JDK's default DocumentBuilderFactory behavior instead of Spring's hardened parser configuration. Applications that evaluate XPath against untrusted XML payloads could therefore be exposed to XML External Entity (XXE) style attacks. Affected versions: Spring Web Services 5.0.0 through 5.0.1; 4.1.0 through 4.1.3; 4.0.0 through 4.0.18; 3.1.0 through 3.1.8.
