Technical Details

Vulnerability Mechanism & Technical Analysis

This vulnerability is classified under CWE-200: Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor, where the product exposes sensitive information to an actor that is not explicitly authorized to have access to that information. In Zendframework/zendframework1, software state validation or input boundaries are circumvented during processing. Review the official source advisory statement below for specific affected components, classes, and reproduction details.

Source Advisory Statement

The (1) Zend_Feed_Rss and (2) Zend_Feed_Atom classes in Zend_Feed in Zend Framework 1.11.x before 1.11.15 and 1.12.x before 1.12.1 allow remote attackers to read arbitrary files, send HTTP requests to intranet servers, and possibly cause a denial of service (CPU and memory consumption) via an XML External Entity (XXE) attack.
