CVE-2017-5662

CVE-2017-5662: Improper Restriction of XML External Entity Reference in Apache Batik

In Apache Batik before 1.9, files lying on the filesystem of the server which uses batik can be revealed to arbitrary users who send maliciously formed SVG files. The file types that can be shown depend on the user context in which the exploitable application is running. If the user is root a full compromise of the server - including confidential or sensitive files - would be possible. XXE can also be used to attack the availability of the server via denial of service as the references within a xml document can trivially trigger an amplification attack.

Root Cause Analysis

The vulnerability manifests in Batik's XML parsing stack when processing SVG files. Key indicators:

XXE vulnerabilities typically occur in XML parser configuration
Security advisories specifically implicate Batik's file processing
Batik's SVG handling requires XML parsing infrastructure
Common XXE fixes involve modifying XMLReader feature flags While exact commit details are unavailable, the pattern matches Java XML processing vulnerabilities where external entity features aren't properly disabled. The primary vulnerable function would be where the XML parser is instantiated/configured.
