Machine-written summary

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

Castor versions before 1.3.3 (Maven org.codehaus.castor:castor) are vulnerable to XML External Entity (XXE) attacks through the default configuration of the Xerces SAX parser. An attacker who can supply a crafted XML document to the application can exploit this; the source does not describe the impact further. Upgrade org.codehaus.castor:castor to version 1.3.3. The separate Maven package castor:castor, versions 1.0 and earlier, has no fixed version listed.
