Authenticated resource access via external XML entities
Published Mar 2, 2026 · Updated Mar 2, 2026
XML external entity processing in ThinkGem JeeSite 5.15.0 through 5.15.1 allows remote authenticated users to access referenced resources. CasOutHandler.java processes attacker-controlled XML without preventing external entity resolution, so the server follows references outside the intended data sphere. Low-privileged access and a high-complexity request are required; exploitation can disclose referenced data and initiate server-side requests.
