  • Disclosed: 14.05.2022
  • Updated: 11.10.2026 10:22

Zend Framework 1 (ZF1) before 1.12.4, Zend Framework 2 before 2.1.6 and 2.2.x before 2.2.6, ZendOpenId, ZendRest, ZendService_AudioScrobbler, ZendService_Nirvanix, ZendService_SlideShare, ZendService_Technorati, and ZendService_WindowsAzure before 2.0.2, ZendService_Amazon before 2.0.3, and ZendService_Api before 1.0.0 allow remote attackers to read arbitrary files, send HTTP requests to intranet servers, and possibly cause a denial of service (CPU and memory consumption) via an XML External Entity (XXE) attack. NOTE: this issue exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2012-5657.
