Red Hat · Resteasy · CVE-2012-0818
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
RESTEasy versions prior to 2.3.1
**Description**
The issue allows remote attackers to read arbitrary files via an external entity reference in a DOM document, specifically through an XML external entity (XXE) injection attack.

For versions prior to 2.3.1, update to version 2.3.1 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to external entity references in DOM documents to minimize the risk of exploitation.
