{"cve":"CVE-2026-61570","nvd":{"published":"2026-09-22T20:17:04.287","modified":"2026-09-24T16:17:08.590","status":"Awaiting Analysis","description":"MPXJ is an open source library to read and write project plans from a variety of file formats and databases. From 5.5.5 until 16.4.1, MerlinReader creates a DocumentBuilder with default settings while parsing XML from the ZTIMEINTERVALS column of a Merlin project SQLite database, leaving doctype declarations and external entities enabled. A crafted database can cause the parser to read an arbitrary local file, although MPXJ's subsequent handling of the parsed XML makes disclosure of the file contents unlikely. This issue is fixed in version 16.4.1.","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N","score":7.5},"cwes":["CWE-611"],"references":["https://github.com/joniles/mpxj/commit/6e8288bc4d1cd62842af298004dc74fe66fb0805","https://github.com/joniles/mpxj/releases/tag/v16.4.1","https://github.com/joniles/mpxj/security/advisories/GHSA-5vvx-3h34-f3gj"],"products":[],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T22:56:02.509636177+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2026-61570","score":0.00474,"percentile":0.41011,"date":"2026-10-31"},"kev":null,"osv":[{"id":"GHSA-5vvx-3h34-f3gj","url":"https://osv.dev/vulnerability/GHSA-5vvx-3h34-f3gj","summary":"MPXJ: XXE Vulnerability in MerlinReader","modified":"2026-10-01T17:56:18.001807322Z","packages":[{"ecosystem":"Maven","name":"net.sf.mpxj:mpxj","purl":"pkg:maven/net.sf.mpxj/mpxj","ranges":[">=5.5.5 <16.4.1"],"fixed":["16.4.1"]},{"ecosystem":"RubyGems","name":"mpxj","purl":"pkg:gem/mpxj","ranges":[">=5.5.5 <16.4.1"],"fixed":["16.4.1"]},{"ecosystem":"NuGet","name":"MPXJ.Net","purl":"pkg:nuget/MPXJ.Net","ranges":[">=5.5.5 <16.4.1"],"fixed":["16.4.1"]},{"ecosystem":"NuGet","name":"net.sf.mpxj","purl":"pkg:nuget/net.sf.mpxj","ranges":[">=5.5.5 <16.4.1"],"fixed":["16.4.1"]},{"ecosystem":"NuGet","name":"net.sf.mpxj-for-csharp","purl":"pkg:nuget/net.sf.mpxj-for-csharp","ranges":[">=5.5.5 <16.4.1"],"fixed":["16.4.1"]},{"ecosystem":"NuGet","name":"net.sf.mpxj-for-vb","purl":"pkg:nuget/net.sf.mpxj-for-vb","ranges":[">=5.5.5 <16.4.1"],"fixed":["16.4.1"]},{"ecosystem":"PyPI","name":"mpxj","purl":"pkg:pypi/mpxj","ranges":[">=5.5.5 <16.4.1"],"fixed":["16.4.1"]}]},{"id":"PYSEC-2026-4107","url":"https://osv.dev/vulnerability/PYSEC-2026-4107","summary":"MPXJ: XXE Vulnerability in MerlinReader","modified":"2026-10-01T17:45:09.329795783Z","packages":[{"ecosystem":"PyPI","name":"mpxj","purl":"pkg:pypi/mpxj","ranges":[">=5.5.5 <16.4.1"],"fixed":["16.4.1"]}]}],"attribution":["This product uses the NVD API but is not endorsed or certified by the NVD.","EPSS scores: FIRST Exploit Prediction Scoring System, https://www.first.org/epss","Known exploited vulnerabilities: CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog, https://www.cisa.gov/known-exploited-vulnerabilities-catalog","Package advisories: OSV (https://osv.dev), from the GitHub Advisory Database, PyPA, Go, RustSec and other ecosystem databases, under CC-BY 4.0 or CC0","CVE records: the CVE Program's CVE List (https://www.cve.org), under its terms of use (https://www.cve.org/Legal/TermsOfUse).
