org.eclipse.jdt and org.eclipse.platform are vulnerable to XML External Entity (XXE). The vulnerability exists because the library does not disable access to external entities by default. This allows an attacker to inject malicious XML documents into an Eclipse project, potentially leading to information disclosure if an attacker tricks a user into opening the project.
