CVE-2026-85970Hinoki check available

File disclosure and SSRF via default entity resolution

Published Oct 12, 2026 · Updated Oct 12, 2026

XXE in Progress MarkLogic Server allows attackers to read local files or cause server-side requests via crafted XML. Affected 11.x releases before 11.3.7 and 12.x releases before 12.1.0 resolve external entities by default in multiple XML-processing paths rather than restricting attacker-supplied references. Exploitation requires crafted XML to reach an affected parser; the inspected vendor material does not identify the specific paths or their authentication requirements.
