) does not disable entity resolution, and could lead to arbitrary file reads from an attacker- controlled XML payload. This affects all XML parsing in the codebase. This issue has been addressed in version 0.28.1. All users are advised to upgrade. The only known workaround is to patch the library manually. See GHSA-8h9c-r582-mggc
for details. (CVE-2023-27476)Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
