OCS Inventory 2.4.1 lacks a proper XML parsing configuration, allowing the use of external entities. This issue can be exploited by an attacker sending a crafted HTTP request in order to exfiltrate information or cause a Denial of Service.

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.
