Last modified

CVE-2019-9843 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. In DiffPlug Spotless before 1.20.0 (library and Maven plugin) and before 3.20.0 (Gradle plugin), the XML parser would resolve external entities over both HTTP and HTTPS and didn't respect the resolveExternalEntities setting. For example, this allows disclosure of file contents to a MITM attacker if a victim performs a spotlessApply operation on an untrusted XML file.. EPSS estimates a 1.50% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
