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-2026-40682/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-40682/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-40682","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-40682/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-40682","record":{"aliases":["DEBIAN-CVE-2026-40682","GHSA-4v8g-86x5-3vrc","UBUNTU-CVE-2026-40682"],"analysis":null,"analysis_generated_by":null,"assigner":"apache","cpe":[{"product":"opennlp","vendor":"apache"}],"cvss":{"score":9.1,"severity":"critical","source":"cisa-adp","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-611","name":"Improper Restriction of XML External Entity Reference"}],"description":"XML External Entity (XXE) via Unsanitized Dictionary Parsing in Apache OpenNLP DictionaryEntryPersistor\n\nVersions Affected: before 2.5.9, before 3.0.0-M3\n\nDescription: The DictionaryEntryPersistor class initializes a static SAXParserFactory at class-load time without enabling FEATURE_SECURE_PROCESSING or disabling DTD processing. When create(InputStream, EntryInserter) is invoked, the only feature set on the XMLReader is namespace support — external entity resolution and DOCTYPE declarations remain fully enabled. An attacker who can supply a crafted dictionary file (e.g., a stop-word list or domain dictionary) containing a malicious DOCTYPE declaration can trigger local file disclosure via file:// entity references or server-side request forgery via http:// entity references during SAX parsing, before the application processes a single dictionary entry. This is inconsistent with the project's own XmlUtil.createSaxParser() helper, which correctly sets FEATURE_SECURE_PROCESSING and disallow-doctype-decl and is used by all other XML parsing paths in the codebase. The public Dictionary(InputStream) constructor delegates directly to this method and is the documented API for loading user-supplied dictionaries, making untrusted input a realistic scenario.\n\nMitigation: 2.x users should upgrade to 2.5.9. 3.x users should upgrade to 3.0.0-M3. Users who cannot upgrade immediately should ensure that all dictionary files are sourced from trusted origins and should consider wrapping the Dictionary(InputStream) constructor with input validation that rejects any XML containing a DOCTYPE declaration before it reaches the parser.","ecosystems":["Maven"],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"Apache OpenNLP: XXE via Dictionary Parsing in DictionaryEntryPersistor","id":"CVE-2026-40682","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":"Maven","product":null,"products":[],"type":null,"year":"2026"},"n_packages":6,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"OpenStack Keystone: LDAP identity backend does not convert enabled attribute to boolean","id":"CVE-2026-40683"},"packages":[{"ecosystem":"Maven","fixed":["1.9.5"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"org.apache.opennlp:opennlp-tools","purl":null,"source":"GHSA-4v8g-86x5-3vrc"},{"ecosystem":"Maven","fixed":["1.9.5"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"org.apache.opennlp:opennlp-tools","purl":"pkg:maven/org.apache.opennlp/opennlp-tools","source":"GHSA-4v8g-86x5-3vrc"},{"ecosystem":"Maven","fixed":["2.5.9"],"introduced":["2.0.0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"org.apache.opennlp:opennlp-tools","purl":null,"source":"GHSA-4v8g-86x5-3vrc"},{"ecosystem":"Maven","fixed":["2.5.9"],"introduced":["2.0.0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"org.apache.opennlp:opennlp-tools","purl":"pkg:maven/org.apache.opennlp/opennlp-tools","source":"GHSA-4v8g-86x5-3vrc"},{"ecosystem":"Maven","fixed":["3.0.0-M3"],"introduced":["3.0.0-M1"],"last_affected":[],"package":"org.apache.opennlp:opennlp-tools","purl":null,"source":"GHSA-4v8g-86x5-3vrc"},{"ecosystem":"Maven","fixed":["3.0.0-M3"],"introduced":["3.0.0-M1"],"last_affected":[],"package":"org.apache.opennlp:opennlp-tools","purl":"pkg:maven/org.apache.opennlp/opennlp-tools","source":"GHSA-4v8g-86x5-3vrc"}],"prev":{"headline":"Other in AMD Management Console (AMC)","id":"CVE-2026-40677"},"products":["Apache OpenNLP"],"published":"2026-05-04","related":[{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Apache OpenNLP, Apache OpenNLP: ReDoS / stack exhaustion in RegexNameFinderFactory built-in EMAIL and URL patterns","id":"CVE-2026-82617","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-09-11"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Apache OpenNLP: Arbitrary Class Instantiation via Model Manifest in ExtensionLoader","id":"CVE-2026-42027","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-05-04"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Improper Restriction of XML External Entity Reference in Apache OpenNLP","id":"CVE-2017-12620","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-10-02"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Apache OpenNLP: OOM DoS via Unbounded Array Allocation in SymSpellModelSerializer","id":"CVE-2026-67211","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-09-11"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Apache OpenNLP: OOM DoS via Unbounded Array Allocation in AbstractModelReader","id":"CVE-2026-42440","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-05-04"},{"cvss_score":7.3,"headline":"Apache OpenNLP :: Core :: ML :: LibSVM: Unsafe Java Deserialization in SvmDoccatModel","id":"CVE-2026-43825","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-07-06"}],"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":"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":"yes","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"total"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-09-02","vendors":["Apache Software Foundation"]},"summary":null,"url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-40682/"}
