Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Protection Mechanism Failure in the LoadPolicyCache process when policy.xml uses an alternate DOCTYPE. An attacker can bypass security policy enforcement by crafting a policy.xml file with a DOCTYPE not ending in ']>', causing the parser to ignore policy rules and allow restricted operations.
