Description

Report portal is an open source reporting and analysis framework. Starting from version 3.1.0 of the service-api XML parsing was introduced. Unfortunately the XML parser was not configured properly to prevent XML external entity (XXE) attacks. This allows a user to import a specifically-crafted XML file which imports external Document Type Definition (DTD) file with external entities for extraction of secrets from Report Portal service-api module or server-side request forgery. This will be resolved in the 5.4.0 release.

Affected products

• reportportal Service-Api: from 3.1.0 before 5.4.0 — fixed in 5.4.0

How to fix

Upgrade to a fixed version: reportportal Service-Api 5.4.0. Check the vendor advisory for mitigations.
