Synopsis

The remote host is running a vulnerable web application that is affected by an XML injection vulnerability.

Description

The remote host is running a web application that uses Echo, a web framework written in Java.

The web application on the remote host uses a version of Echo that accepts unverified XML data from the client. A malicious client can use this to direct the server to arbitrary URIs, which could, in turn, allow the attacker to read locally-stored files.

Note that this vulnerability could also result in a denial of service or local network scanning.

Upgrade to Echo 2.1.1/3.0.b6 or later.
