Machine-written summary

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

GeoNode versions before 4.0.3 are affected by an XML External Entity (XXE) injection in the style upload functionality for GeoServer datasets. An authenticated user, including a non-privileged account, can upload a crafted style file that causes the server to resolve external entities and return the contents of local files. Upgrade to GeoNode 4.0.3 or later, which contains the fix.
