Security Bulletin
Summary
The DOMConverter, JDOMConverter, DOM4JConverter, and XOMConverter functions in Direct Web Remoting (DWR) through 2.0.10 and 3.x through 3.0.RC2 allow remote attackers to read arbitrary files via DOM data containing an XML external entity declaration in conjunction with an entity reference, related to an XML External Entity (XXE) issue. Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in Direct Web Remoting (DWR) through 2.0.10 and 3.x through 3.0.RC2 allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via unspecified vectors.
