Information disclosure via SAML external entity processing
Published Oct 12, 2026 · Updated Oct 12, 2026
XXE in Progress MarkLogic Server before 11.3.7 allows attackers to disclose information or trigger network access via SAML XML. The SAML parser configuration processes external DTDs or entities instead of restricting their resolution. The supplied affected range is limited to 11.x and requires SAML processing; public documentation does not establish exploit privileges or the specific information exposed.
