Resteasy-core: resteasy sourceprovider remote unauthenticated file read
Historical advisory recorded 28 Oct 2026 20:55:13 UTC. Read the latest advisory.
cve-program · CVE-2026-17615
PublishedA flaw was found in RESTEasy's SourceProvider. This vulnerability allows an unauthenticated attacker to perform an unauthenticated remote file read. By sending a specially crafted XML body with a DOCTYPE declaration referencing external entities to an endpoint that accepts application/xml and returns Source or StreamSource, the server can be tricked into resolving the entity and including sensitive file contents in the HTTP response. This is due to the SourceProvider.writeTo() method creating a SAXParser without disabling external entity resolution, leading to an XML External Entity (XXE) vulnerability.
