XmlMapper in the Jackson XML dataformat component (aka jackson-dataformat-xml) before 2.7.8 and 2.8.x before 2.8.4 allows remote attackers to conduct server-side request forgery (SSRF) attacks via vectors related to a DTD.

Weakness

The product processes an XML document that can contain XML entities with URIs that resolve to documents outside of the intended sphere of control, causing the product to embed incorrect documents into its output.
