CVE-2023-27476: OWSLib vulnerable to XML External Entity (XXE) Injection
(updated )
OWSLib’s XML parser (which supports both lxml and xml.etree) does not disable entity resolution for lxml, and could lead to arbitrary file reads from an attacker-controlled XML payload. This affects all XML parsing in the codebase.
