CVE-2011-3600 is a high-severity vulnerability rated 7.5/10 on the CVSS scale. The /webtools/control/xmlrpc endpoint in OFBiz XML-RPC event handler is exposed to External Entity Injection by passing DOCTYPE declarations with executable payloads that discloses the contents of files in the filesystem.
