Magento 2 Community Edition XML Injection
An XPath entity injection vulnerability exists in Magento 2.2 prior to 2.2.10, Magento 2.3 prior to 2.3.3 or 2.3.2-p1. An attacker can craft a GET request to page cache block rendering module that gets passed to XML data processing engine without validation. The crafted key/value GET request data allows an attacker to limited access to underlying XML data.
As per the Magento Release 2.3.3, if you have already implemented the pre-release version of this patch (2.3.2-p1), it is highly recommended to promptly upgrade to 2.3.2-p2.
