An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2019-7722 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- net.sourceforge.pmd:pmd-core (Maven): affected all versions; fixed in 6.0.0\n- net.sourceforge.pmd:pmd-core (Maven): affected all versions; fixed in 6.0.0\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2019-7722/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2019-7722/index.md)","id":"CVE-2019-7722","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2019-7722/index.md","name":"CVE-2019-7722","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-57qj-79gh-69w8"],"analysis":{"component_type":"developer_tool","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["data_read","denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Java static analysis tool","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers can exploit XML external entity processing in PMD rulesets to disclose information or cause denial of service.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"xxe"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"pmd","vendor":"pmd_project"}],"cvss":{"score":8.1,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-611","name":"Improper Restriction of XML External Entity Reference"}],"description":"PMD 5.8.1 and earlier processes XML external entities in ruleset files it parses as part of the analysis process, allowing attackers tampering it (either by direct modification or MITM attacks when using remote rulesets) to perform information disclosure, denial of service, or request forgery attacks.
