Data Serialization External Entities Blowup
|
|
Sažetak
|
This attack takes advantage of the entity replacement property of certain data serialization languages (e.g., XML, YAML, etc.) where the value of the replacement is a URI. A well-crafted file could have the entity refer to a URI that consumes a large amount of resources to create a denial of service condition. This can cause the system to either freeze, crash, or execute arbitrary code depending on the URI.
|
|
Preduvjeti
|
A server that has an implementation that accepts entities containing URI values.

['This attack may be mitigated by tweaking the XML parser to not resolve external entities. If external entities are needed, then implement a custom XmlResolver that has a request timeout, data retrieval limit, and restrict resources it can retrieve locally.', 'This attack may be mitigated by tweaking the serialized data parser to not resolve external entities.
