What it is

An XML External Entity (XXE) vulnerability exists in the Ambari/Oozie

project, allowing an attacker to inject malicious XML entities. This

vulnerability occurs due to insecure parsing of XML input using the

`DocumentBuilderFactory` class without disabling external entity

resolution. An attacker can exploit this vulnerability to read arbitrary

files on the server or perform server-side request forgery (SSRF)

attacks. The issue has been fixed in both Ambari 2.7.9 and the trunk

branch.
