CVE-2020-10683
dom4j before 2.0.3 and 2.1.x before 2.1.3 allows external DTDs and External Entities by default, which might enable XXE attacks.
CRITICAL 9.8EPSS 7.27%
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (7.27%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
Description
dom4j before 2.0.3 and 2.1.x before 2.1.3 allows external DTDs and External Entities by default, which might enable XXE attacks. However, there is popular external documentation from OWASP showing how to enable the safe, non-default behavior in any application that uses dom4j.
