The Management Console in WSO2 API Manager through 3.1.0 and API Microgateway 2.2.0 allows XML Entity Expansion attacks.

Weakness

The product uses XML documents and allows their structure to be defined with a Document Type Definition (DTD), but it does not properly control the number of recursive definitions of entities.
