CVE-2024-38374

7.5 highEPSS 0.6%

High (7.5). EPSS 0.6% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days. Fixed in org.cyclonedx:cyclonedx-core-java 9.0.4.

The CycloneDX core module provides a model representation of the SBOM along with utilities to assist in creating, validating, and parsing SBOMs. Before deserializing CycloneDX Bill of Materials in XML format, _cyclonedx-core-java_ leverages XPath expressions to determine the schema version of the BOM. The `DocumentBuilderFactory` used to evaluate XPath expressions was not configured securely, making the library vulnerable to XML External Entity (XXE) injection. This vulnerability has been fixed in cyclonedx-core-java version 9.0.4.
