Apache Cocoon vulnerabilities

Apache Cocoon has an exposure of sensitive system information to an unauthorized control sphere vulnerability. An unauthenticated user could access diagnostic interfaces, including triggering cache operations and exposing verbose debug logging and profile information. The project is retired and no fix is planned.

The vulnerability in Apache Cocoon involves the use of a cache containing sensitive information. In multi-user applications, cached values for one user could be used when serving content for other users.

The vulnerability in Apache Cocoon involves improper neutralization of special elements used in SQL commands (SQL injection). Missing input sanitation allows arbitrary SQL injection through the SQL processor or sql:/esql: logicsheets.

The vulnerability in Apache Cocoon involves improper restriction of recursive entity references in DTDs (XML entity expansion). XEE in the fp: form processor could lead to SSRF, including exposing files from the server to an untrusted external system.
