Go to dashboardcamel-fop transforms incoming XSL-FO bodies with a JAXP TransformerFactory that only sets FEATURE_SECURE_PROCESSING, which does not block external DTDs or entities on third-party factories such as Saxon-HE. An external sender can make the Camel process read files it can access and issue requests to hosts named in the document.

Only applications where a non-JDK JAXP TransformerFactory, such as Saxon-HE brought in by camel-saxon or camel-xslt-saxon, is on the classpath and where untrusted XSL-FO reaches a fop producer. camel-fop excludes Xalan and uses the JDK transformer by default, so a default deployment is not affected. Teams on the 4.14.x line or earlier have no fix and must upgrade.

mvn dependency:tree and looking for camel-saxon, camel-xslt-saxon or Saxon-HE.fop producer endpoint.Each row is the first time that source carried this signal. The analyst’s rows are its own findings.
FopProducer transforms the incoming XSL-FO message body by creating a javax.xml.transform.TransformerFactory through TransformerFactory.newInstance() and enabling only FEATURE_SECURE_PROCESSING before running an identity transform over the body. On the JDK's built-in transformer, that feature alone already empties the accessExternalDTD and accessExternalStylesheet limits, so an external DTD or entity is refused. When a third-party JAXP TransformerFactory such as Saxon-HE is on the classpath, for example because the application also uses camel-xslt-saxon or camel-saxon, TransformerFactory.newInstance() returns that implementation instead, and FEATURE_SECURE_PROCESSING on its own does not restrict external resource access on it. A DOCTYPE with an external subset, or an external general entity, declared in the XSL-FO document is then resolved and expanded while the body is transformed. An external sender whose XSL-FO reaches a fop producer could therefore read files readable by the Camel process and cause the process to issue requests to hosts the document names. camel-fop does not bring such a factory itself, and excludes Xalan, so a default deployment using the JDK transformer is not affected; the issue is reachable only where another component has placed an alternative JAXP TransformerFactory on the classpath. Releases on the 4.14.x line and earlier reached end of life before this issue was resolved and do not receive a fix.
