Plone before 5.2.3 allows XXE attacks via a feature that is protected by an unapplied permission of plone.schemaeditor.ManageSchemata (therefore, only available to the Manager role).

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.
