CVE-2026-94108Network attack vector

File disclosure and SSRF via XML entity loading

Published Sep 20, 2026 · Updated Sep 20, 2026

XML external entity injection in James Heinrich getID3() 1.9.26 and earlier allows remote attackers to read local files via crafted media metadata. The XML2array helper suppresses failures from libxml_disable_entity_loader() before simplexml_load_string() parses attacker-controlled XML, leaving external entity resolution active. Exposure requires PHP before 8.0 and an application path that analyzes untrusted media; successful requests can also reach internal services or exhaust resources.
