Root Cause Analysis
The vulnerability stems from insecure XML parsing in SimpleXRD::load(). The patch adds LIBXML_NONET to xml() calls to disable network access. The commit diff shows the critical change from '$this->reader->xml($xml)' to '$this->reader->xml($xml, null, LIBXML_NONET)', directly addressing XXE by preventing external entity resolution. This function is the primary XML input handler, making it the clear attack vector.
