Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Keyoti SearchUnit versions prior to 9.0.0

Description The issue allows an attacker to exfiltrate files from the underlying operating system by forcing a vulnerable host into parsing maliciously crafted XML and/or DTD files, exploiting an XML External Entity (XXE) vulnerability.

Recommendations For versions prior to 9.0.0, update to version 9.0.0 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting the parsing of external XML and DTD files to minimize the risk of exploitation. Avoid using vulnerable SearchUnit configurations until the issue is resolved.
