CVE-2024-40896

Published: 12/23/2024 Last updated: 2/28/2025 Reserved: 7/12/2024

In libxml2 2.11 before 2.11.9, 2.12 before 2.12.9, and 2.13 before 2.13.3, the SAX parser can produce events for external entities even if custom SAX handlers try to override entity content (by setting "checked"). This makes classic XXE attacks possible.
