CVE-2021-41042

This allows an attacker to cause an external DTD to be retrieved.

MEDIUM 5.3EPSS 0.97%

Does this matter?

Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.97%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.

Description

In Eclipse Lyo versions 1.0.0 to 4.1.0, a TransformerFactory is initialized with the defaults that do not restrict DTD loading when working with RDF/XML. This allows an attacker to cause an external DTD to be retrieved.
