    Improper Validation of Specified Quantity in Input

    fast-xml-parser is a Validate XML, Parse XML, Build XML without C/C++ based libraries

    Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Improper Validation of Specified Quantity in Input in the DocTypeReader component when the maxEntityCount or maxEntitySize configuration options are explicitly set to 0. Due to JavaScript's falsy evaluation, the intended limits are bypassed. An attacker can cause unbounded entity expansion and exhaust server memory by supplying crafted XML input containing numerous large entities.

    Note:

    This is only exploitable if the application is configured with processEntities enabled and either maxEntityCount or maxEntitySize set to 0.

    How to fix Improper Validation of Specified Quantity in Input?

    Upgrade fast-xml-parser to version 5.5.7 or higher.
