The `DocumentBuilderFactory` used to evaluate XPath expressions was not configured securely, making the library vulnerable to XML External Entity (XXE) injection. This vulnerability has been fixed in cyclonedx-core-java version 9.0.4.\n","published":"2024-06-28T18:01:51.789Z","modified":"2026-07-15T01:49:17.877678967Z","cvss":{"score":7.5,"severity":"HIGH","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N"},"epss":null,"cisaKev":null,"exploitsKnown":0,"affectedPackages":[{"ecosystem":"Maven","name":"org.cyclonedx:cyclonedx-core-java","fixedVersion":"9.0.4"}],"fix":{"url":"https://github.com/CycloneDX/cyclonedx-core-java/pull/434","label":"CycloneDX/cyclonedx-core-java#434"},"references":[{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/CycloneDX/cyclonedx-core-java/pull/434/commits/ab0bc9c530d24f737970dbd0287d1190b129853d"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/tree/main/cves/2024/38xxx/CVE-2024-38374.json"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/CycloneDX/cyclonedx-core-java/security/advisories/GHSA-683x-4444-jxh8"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2024-38374"},{"type":"FIX","url":"https://github.com/CycloneDX/cyclonedx-core-java/pull/434"}],"provenance":{"sources":["OSV.dev","FIRST.org (EPSS)"],"lastVerified":"2026-07-15T01:49:17.877678967Z"}}
