Root Cause Analysis
The patch explicitly modifies the getDocumentBuilder() method to add XXE protections (disallowDoctypeDecl, disable external entities/DTD loading). The CWE-611 mapping and advisory descriptions confirm this was an XXE/SSRF vector. The unpatched version lacked these security flags, making XML parsing vulnerable to external entity injection.
