Prior to version 3.9.2, org.kitodo.production.helper.XMLUtils exposes several XML parsing helpers that construct a JAXP parser with the default, non-secure configuration. The methods parseXMLString(String), getNumberOfEADElements(String, String) and checkIfXmlIsWellFormed(String) build a DocumentBuilderFactory / XMLInputFactory / SAXParserFactory via newInstance() and parse the attacker-supplied string without disabling DOCTYPE declarations or external entity resolution. These helpers sit directly on the EAD-import path: an authenticated user who uploads an EAD/XML file through the \"Create process\" file-upload dialog has the uploaded bytes parsed by these methods. A crafted document with an external entity therefore yields XML External Entity (XXE) injection: local file disclosure and outbound SSRF requests from the server. This issue has been patched in version 3.9.2.","categories":["Unclassified"],"product":"kitodo-production","vendor":"kitodo","ecosystem":null,"affected_ranges":[{"source":"CVE List","source_url":"https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2026-54668","source_modified_at":"2026-10-23T14:54:35.530Z","fetched_at":"2026-10-23T18:42:43.628194Z","product":"kitodo-production","vendor":"kitodo","versions":[{"version":"< 3.9.2","status":"affected"}],"defaultStatus":null}],"fixed_versions":[],"cvss":8.7,"severity":"High","kev":{"listed":false},"epss":{"probability":null,"percentile":null,"score_date":null},"published_at":"2026-10-23T14:54:35.530Z","modified_at":"2026-10-23T14:54:35.530Z","provenance":[{"source":"CVE List","url":"https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2026-54668","fetched_at":"2026-10-23T18:42:43.628194Z","source_modified_at":"2026-10-23T14:54:35.530Z"}],"sources":["CVE List"],"references":[{"source":"CVE List","url":"https://github.com/kitodo/kitodo-production/security/advisories/GHSA-mff2-fpqj-jg4q","tags":["x_refsource_CONFIRM"]},{"source":"CVE List","url":"https://github.com/kitodo/kitodo-production/releases/tag/kitodo-production-3.9.2","tags":["x_refsource_MISC"]}],"locations":[],"motoko_assessment":{"status":"requires_architecture_review","automatic_remediation":false},"cve_state":"PUBLISHED","cvss_source":"CVE List","classification":{"method":"product-first software-layer rules","rules_version":"2.1","matched_on":null,"confidence":"unknown","reviewed":false},"change_timestamp":"2026-10-23T14:54:35.530Z","content_hash":"8af8162bf1e43ed8673e3c51c490f15b783f9f1ac0f14d2907800e9bef61b865"}}
