Acrobat Reader versions 24.005.20307, 24.001.30213, 24.001.30193, 20.005.30730, 20.005.30710 and earlier are affected by an Improper Restriction of XML External Entity Reference (XXE) vulnerability that allows an attacker to provide malicious XML input containing a reference to an external entity, potentially leading to unauthorized read access outside the Acrobat sandbox. Exploitation of this issue requires user interaction in that a victim must process a malicious XML document.
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.
