Vulnerability Details

CVEID: CVE-2016-2175 DESCRIPTION: Apache PDFBox could allow a remote authenticated attacker to obtain sensitive information, caused by a XML external entity (XXE) error when processing XML data by the XML parser. A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to read arbitrary files on the system or cause a denial of service.
