Base vector

AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:C/I:N/A:N

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Spreadsheet::ParseXLSX versions prior to 0.30

Description The issue is related to the incorrect restriction of XML links to external objects, allowing an attacker to conduct XXE attacks using a specially crafted XLSX file. This is because the Spreadsheet::ParseXLSX package neglects to use the no xxe option of XML::Twig.

Recommendations For versions prior to 0.30, update to version 0.30 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider enabling the no xxe option of XML::Twig to prevent XXE attacks.
