The soap_cgi.pyc API handler allows the XML body of SOAP requests to contain references to external entities. This allows an unauthenticated attacker to read local files, perform server-side request forgery, and overwhelm the web server resources.

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.
