An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2025-3225 exists.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- llama-index-readers-papers (PyPI): affected all versions; fixed in 0.3.2\n- llama-index-readers-papers (PyPI): affected all versions; fixed in 0.3.2\n- llama-index-readers-papers (PyPI): affected all versions; fixed in 0.3.2\n- llama-index (PyPI): affected from 0.12.21; fixed in 0.12.29\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-2025-3225/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-3225/index.md)","id":"CVE-2025-3225","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-3225/index.md","name":"CVE-2025-3225","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-w42r-mrx7-c633","PYSEC-2025-250","PYSEC-2026-1570"],"analysis":{"component_type":"library","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Python LLM library","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers can cause denial of service via memory exhaustion using malicious XML sitemaps in the llama_index library.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"denial_of_service"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"@huntr_ai","cpe":[{"product":"llamaindex","vendor":"llamaindex"}],"cvss":{"score":7.5,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-776","name":"Improper Restriction of Recursive Entity References in DTDs"}],"description":"An XML Entity Expansion vulnerability, also known as a 'billion laughs' attack, exists in the sitemap parser of the run-llama/llama_index repository, specifically affecting version v0.12.21.
