Local file disclosure via unrestricted external entities
Published Oct 2, 2023 · Updated Sep 20, 2024
XML external entity injection in FD Application 9.01 and earlier allows attackers to read arbitrary local files via a crafted XML file. The application's XML-processing path resolves attacker-supplied external entity file references without restricting access to files outside the intended input. Exploitation requires user interaction to process the malicious file in the local desktop application; the documented consequence is file disclosure only.
