Machine-written summary
Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.
Copernik XML Factory versions before 0.1.2 (through 0.1.1) do not block XInclude resolution on the stock JDK provider. An attacker who can supply XML to an application that enables XInclude on factories or readers from this library can read local files or reach internal HTTP endpoints. Upgrade to 0.1.2, which fixes the issue; as a workaround, add Apache Xerces (xercesImpl) to the classpath.
