Introduction:  
-------------  
Apache Olingo is a Java library that implements the Open Data Protocol (OData). [1]  
XML data is parsed by insecurley configured software components, which can be abused for XML External Entity Attacks [2].  
  
  
  
Affected:  
---------  
Vulnerable:  
* Olingo OData 4.x.x to 4.6.x  
  
Not vulnerable:  
* Olingo OData 4.7.0  
* The Olingo OData 2.0 implementation has XXE protection since 1.1.0-RC01  
  
Technical Description  
---------------------  
The XML content type entity deserializer is not configured to deny the resolution of external entities.  
Request with content type "application/xml", which trigger the deserialization of entities, can be used to trigger XXE attacks.

Workaround / Fix:  
-----------------  
Configure the XML reader securely [3].  
  
In org.apache.olingo.server.core.deserializer.xml.ODataXmlDeserializer.java on line 70 a javax.xml.stream.XMLInputFactory is instanciated:  
private static final XMLInputFactory FACTORY = XMLInputFactory.newFactory();  
  
The XMLInputFactory should be configured, not to resolve external entities:  
FACTORY.setProperty(XMLInputFactory.SUPPORT_DTD, false);  
FACTORY.setProperty("javax.xml.stream.isSupportingExternalEntities", false);
