Think of it as a restaurant where anyone can walk into the kitchen and see every recipe without anyone asking for a reservation.

This issue arises from improper restrictions on XML external entities, allowing crafted requests to read arbitrary files on the server. Essentially, it's like a loophole in security where the server can't tell what's safe and what isn't.
