Machine-written summary
Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.
Zendframework/zendframework versions >=2.1.0 <2.1.6 and >=2.2.0 <2.2.6 are vulnerable to XML external entity (XXE) injection and XML entity expansion (XEE) attacks in components that use DOMDocument, SimpleXML, and xml_parse. An attacker who can supply XML documents or strings to the application can make it open arbitrary files or TCP connections, or exhaust CPU and memory for denial of service. Upgrade to zendframework/zendframework 2.1.6 or 2.2.6.
