Root Cause Analysis
The vulnerability stems from two key flaws: 1) Unsafe XML parsing configuration (CWE-611) in file processing functions, and 2) Improper access control (CWE-918) in controller/agent message handling. The first vulnerable function handles XML parsing without disabling DTDs/external entities. The second enables agent-to-controller command execution without proper validation. The advisory specifically mentions these components through its description of unrestricted message execution and XML processing vulnerabilities.
