Description
xmlsec 1.2.23 and before is vulnerable to XML External Entity Expansion when parsing crafted input documents, resulting in possible information disclosure or denial of service
It was discovered xmlsec1's use of libxml2 inadvertently enabled external entity expansion (XXE) along with validation. An attacker could craft an XML file that would cause xmlsec1 to try and read local files or HTTP/FTP URLs, leading to information disclosure or denial of service.
