Summary

Enterprise Architect is vulnerable to XML External Entity (XXE) injection in the XSLT Debugger feature. When a user loads a crafted XML file containing a DOCTYPE with an external DTD reference, the parser processes external entities, allowing an attacker to read arbitrary files from the victim's filesystem. Because vendor contact attempts were unsuccessful, the vulnerability has only been confirmed in version 17.1 but may also affect other versions.

Risk Assessment

An attacker can read arbitrary files from the victim's filesystem, potentially leading to leakage of sensitive data. However, this requires the user to load a crafted XML file.

Recommendation

Restrict processing of external XML entities in Enterprise Architect if possible, and avoid opening untrusted XML files. Contact the vendor for a fix.

Enterprise Architect is vulnerable to XML External Entity (XXE) injection in the XSLT Debugger feature. When a user loads a crafted XML file containing a `DOCTYPE` with an external DTD reference, the parser processes external entities, allowing an attacker to read arbitrary files from the victim's filesystem. Because vendor contact attempts were unsuccessful, the vulnerability has only been confirmed in version 17.1 but may also affect other versions.
