CVE-2020-25614
CVSS v3.1
7.5
High
| Vector | AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H |
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
xmlquery versions prior to 1.3.1
Description
The issue allows attackers to cause a denial of service (SIGSEGV) or possibly have other unspecified impacts due to the lack of a check for whether a LoadURL response is in the XML format. This can also cause a panic due to nil pointer deference if the loaded resource is not XML, potentially serving as a denial of service vector if user-supplied URLs are loaded.
Recommendations
For versions prior to 1.3.1, update to version 1.3.1 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting the use of the LoadURL function to minimize the risk of exploitation, especially when loading user-supplied URLs.
