What is CVE-2014-0119?
CVE-2014-0119 is a medium-severity vulnerability in Apache Tomcat, published on 31 May 2014. Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.
Official description
Apache Tomcat before 6.0.40, 7.x before 7.0.54, and 8.x before 8.0.6 does not properly constrain the class loader that accesses the XML parser used with an XSLT stylesheet, which allows remote attackers to (1) read arbitrary files via a crafted web application that provides an XML external entity declaration in conjunction with an entity reference, related to an XML External Entity (XXE) issue, or (2) read files associated with different web applications on a single Tomcat instance via a crafted web application.
