SAML 2.0 functionality in SAP NetWeaver AS Java, does not sufficiently validate XML documents received from an untrusted source. This is fixed in versions 7.2, 7.30, 7.31, 7.40 and 7.50.

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.
