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-2020-26705 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- easy-xml (PyPI): affected all versions; no fix listed\n- easy-xml (PyPI): affected all versions up to 0.5.0; no fix listed\n- easy-xml (PyPI): affected all versions up to 0.5.0; no fix listed\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-2020-26705/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-26705/index.md)","id":"CVE-2020-26705","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-26705/index.md","name":"CVE-2020-26705","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-v899-28g4-qmh8","PYSEC-2021-388"],"analysis":{"component_type":"library","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["data_read","denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Python XML library","requires_auth":"none","summary":"An attacker can expose sensitive data or cause denial of service via crafted XML input in the Easy-XML library.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"xxe"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"easyxml","vendor":"easyxml_project"}],"cvss":{"score":9.1,"severity":"critical","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-611","name":"Improper Restriction of XML External Entity Reference"}],"description":"The parseXML function in Easy-XML 0.5.0 was discovered to have a XML External Entity (XXE) vulnerability which allows for an attacker to expose sensitive data or perform a denial of service (DOS) via a crafted external entity entered into the XML content as input.","ecosystems":["PyPI"],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":false,"headline":"XML External Entity vulnerability in Easy-XML","id":"CVE-2020-26705","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":"PyPI","product":null,"products":[],"type":"xxe","year":"2020"},"n_packages":3,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Command injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2020-26707"},"packages":[{"ecosystem":"PyPI","fixed":[],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"easy-xml","purl":"pkg:pypi/easy-xml","source":"PYSEC-2021-388"},{"ecosystem":"PyPI","fixed":[],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":["0.5.0"],"package":"easy-xml","purl":null,"source":"GHSA-v899-28g4-qmh8"},{"ecosystem":"PyPI","fixed":[],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":["0.5.0"],"package":"easy-xml","purl":"pkg:pypi/easy-xml","source":"GHSA-v899-28g4-qmh8"}],"prev":{"headline":"Cross-site scripting in n/a","id":"CVE-2020-26701"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2021-10-31","related":[],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CC BY 4.0","name":"GitHub Advisory Database","prefix":"GHSA"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CC BY 4.0","name":"PyPA Advisory Database","prefix":"PYSEC"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-04","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"An attacker can expose sensitive data or cause denial of service via crafted XML input in the Easy-XML library.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2020-26705/"}
