GHSA-2jc4-r94c-rp7h: org.apache.ivy:ivy (CVE-2022-46751)

Package	Ecosystem	Affected	Fixed in
org.apache.ivy:ivy	Maven	<2.5.2	2.5.2

Machine-written summary

Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.

Apache Ivy versions before 2.5.2 are affected. When Ivy parses XML files, including its own configuration, Ivy files, or Maven POMs, it downloads external document type definitions and expands entity references in them, which is an XML external entity issue. An attacker who can supply such an XML file to Ivy could use this to exfiltrate data, reach resources the machine running Ivy can access, or disrupt Ivy's execution. Upgrade to Ivy 2.5.2 or later. Users unable to upgrade can restrict external DTD processing using Java system properties described in Oracle's JAXP Security Guide.
