Improper Input Validation in Xerces

CVE-2020-14338 / GHSA-w4jq-qh47-hvjq

More information

Details

A flaw was found in Wildfly's implementation of Xerces, specifically in the way the XMLSchemaValidator class in the JAXP component of Wildfly enforced the "use-grammar-pool-only" feature. This flaw allows a specially-crafted XML file to manipulate the validation process in certain cases. This issue is the same flaw as CVE-2020-14621, which affected OpenJDK, and uses a similar code. All xerces jboss versions before 2.12.0.SP3.

Severity

  • CVSS Score: 5.3 / 10 (Medium)
