The vulnerability stems from using DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance() without configuring security features to prevent XXE attacks. The patch introduced a safeDocumentBuilderFactory() method that disables DTDs, external entities, and enables secure processing. All identified functions were directly instantiating DocumentBuilderFactory without these protections in pre-patch versions, making them vulnerable to external entity injection.
