Does this matter?

High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (2.22%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.

Description

In Eclipse Theia 0.1.1 to 0.2.0, it is possible to exploit the default build to obtain remote code execution (and XXE) via the theia-xml-extension. This extension uses lsp4xml (recently renamed to LemMinX) in order to provide language support for XML. This is installed by default.
