Arbitrary file reads via external XML entities
Published Apr 25, 2025 · Updated Apr 25, 2025
XML external entity injection in Filez Client before 11.0.0.10 allows local users to read arbitrary system files via a crafted URL. The public advisory does not identify the affected XML parser or the specific external-entity resolution path. Local access and an action by a user who visits the malicious URL are required; successful exploitation discloses files readable in that user's context.
