Summary

The XSLT Transformer Step builds a bare TransformerFactory without the proper security options set. This allows XXE injection, enabling data exfiltration and denial-of-service attacks.

Risk Assessment

An attacker could read sensitive files from the server and cause service unavailability by injecting external XML entities. The risk affects systems that process XSLT documents from untrusted sources.

Recommendation

Configure TransformerFactory with external entities and DTD features disabled. Update the software to a patched version.
