Submit #878359: Public Knowledge Project OJS/OMP/OPS 3.3.0-22 and older XML Injectioninfo

TitelPublic Knowledge Project OJS/OMP/OPS 3.3.0-22 and older XML Injection
BeschreibungThe XSLTransformer class enables external XML entity loading, including from remote documents. This can lead to XXE injections via the Manager's import/export toolset. The _transformPHP() method explicitly enables external entity resolution before loading attacker-influenced XML: $xmlDOM->substituteEntities = true; // expands all entities incl. SYSTEM $xmlDOM->resolveExternals = true; // fetches file:// and http:// URIs // ... $xmlDOM->loadXML($xml); // $xml may contain attacker DOCTYPE A Manager-level user can trigger this path through Tools → Import/Export → Native XML Plugin.
