CVE-2016-7051
XmlMapper in the Jackson XML dataformat component (aka jackson-dataformat-xml) before 2.7.8 and 2.8.x before 2.8.4 allows remote attackers to conduct server-side request forgery (SSRF) attacks via vectors related to a DTD.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (2.36%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
