CVE-2026-49875

MEDIUM 6.5

Published 2026-06-12 · Last modified 2026-07-15

Apache CXF's EndpointReferenceUtils and W3CMultiSchemaFactory classes construct a SAXParserFactory without the necessary JAXP hardening configurations, enabling out-of-band (OOB) external entity resolution. Users are recommended to upgrade to versions 4.2.2 or 4.1.7, which fix this issue.
