———veraPDF validation model is an implementation of the veraPDF validation model. From 1.25.73 until 1.30.2 and 1.31.71, veraPDF-validation contains an XML External Entity vulnerability in PDFAValidator.validate(...) and GFPDAcroForm.getdynamicRender(), where default DocumentBuilderFactory parsing of rich-text annotation or form-field values and XFA configurations in untrusted PDFs can allow local file disclosure and outbound network requests. This issue is fixed in versions 1.30.2 and 1.31.71.14h CVE-2026-54079—

——1proCertum SmartSign parses external XML entities from arbitrary crafted signature files, enabling SSRF and potentially allowing the reading of local files, depending on the parser's configuration. The XML External Entity (XXE) vulnerability is triggered simply by previewing a file in the file selection window, before the victim clicks “Open”. This issue was fixed in version 9.4.3.90.3d CVE-2026-56817—

——7Netty is a network application framework for development of protocol servers and clients. In versions 4.2.0.Final through 4.2.15.Final and 4.1.0.Final through 4.1.135.Final, any caller that can deliver bytes to a Netty channel pipeline containing `XmlDecoder` can send XML with a `DOCTYPE` declaration to an `AsyncXMLInputFactory` instantiated with no security configuration, leaving DTD and entity handling active depending on Aalto XML async parser behavior and creating conditional XML external entity risk. This issue is fixed in versions 4.1.136.Final and 4.2.16.Final.7d CVE-2026-510809.8 CRI
