CVE-2015-3451

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions XML::LibXML versions prior to 2.0119

Description The issue allows remote attackers to conduct XML external entity (XXE) attacks via crafted XML data to the new or load xml function. This is due to the clone function not properly setting the expand entities option.

Recommendations For XML::LibXML versions prior to 2.0119, update to version 2.0119 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider disabling the clone function or restricting the use of the new and load xml functions until a patch is available. Avoid using these functions with untrusted XML data to minimize the risk of exploitation.
