Description The issue concerns the data import functionality, which is susceptible to an XML External Entity (XXE) attack. This attack can be initiated through a crafted zip file, enabling attackers to read arbitrary files.

Recommendations For versions prior to 3.2, update to version 3.2 or later to resolve the issue.
