Open actionable advisories and recorded vendor fixes. This public package view has no inventory attached and cannot establish whether your deployment is affected. A vendor fix never resolves your finding; verify your installed version and the source guidance.
Open advisories
7 actionable advisories, newest first. Withdrawn advisories and news are excluded. Coverage is partial.
In Apache POI up to 4.1.0, when using the tool XSSFExportToXml to convert user-provided Microsoft Excel documents, a specially crafted document can allow an attacker to read files from the local filesystem or from internal network resources via XML External Entity (XXE) Processing.
Recommended action: Upgrade to 4.1.1 or later, then redeploy and verify.A vendor fix does not resolve your finding until you verify it in your own systems.
HSLFSlideShow in Apache POI before 3.11 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite loop and deadlock) via a crafted PPT file.
Recommended action: Upgrade to 3.11 or later, then redeploy and verify.A vendor fix does not resolve your finding until you verify it in your own systems.
The OPC SAX setup in Apache POI before 3.10.1 allows remote attackers to read arbitrary files via an OpenXML file containing an XML external entity declaration in conjunction with an entity reference, related to an XML External Entity (XXE) issue.
Recommended action: Upgrade to 3.10.1 or later, then redeploy and verify.A vendor fix does not resolve your finding until you verify it in your own systems.
Apache POI before 3.10.1 and 3.11.x before 3.11-beta2 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (CPU consumption and crash) via a crafted OOXML file, aka an XML Entity Expansion (XEE) attack.
Recommended action: Upgrade to 3.11-beta2 (pre-release) or 3.10.1 by release line, then redeploy and verify.A vendor fix does not resolve your finding until you verify it in your own systems.
Apache POI in versions prior to release 3.15 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (CPU consumption) via a specially crafted OOXML file, aka an XML Entity Expansion (XEE) attack.
Recommended action: Upgrade to 3.15 or later, then redeploy and verify.A vendor fix does not resolve your finding until you verify it in your own systems.
The UnhandledDataStructure function in hwpf/model/UnhandledDataStructure.java in Apache POI 3.8 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (OutOfMemoryError exception and possibly JVM destabilization) via a crafted length value in a Channel Definition Format (CDF) or Compound File Binary Format (CFBF) document.
Recommended action: Upgrade to 3.10-beta1 (pre-release) or later, then redeploy and verify.A vendor fix does not resolve your finding until you verify it in your own systems.
Apache POI in versions prior to release 3.17 are vulnerable to Denial of Service Attacks: - Infinite Loops while parsing crafted WMF, EMF, MSG and macros (POI bugs 61338 and 61294) - Out of Memory Exceptions while parsing crafted DOC, PPT and XLS (POI bugs 52372 and 61295)
Recommended action: Upgrade to 3.17 or later, then redeploy and verify.A vendor fix does not resolve your finding until you verify it in your own systems.
