## Summary

OpenKM Community Edition contains an XML entity processing flaw that lets a remote attacker who has a basic user login (ROLE_USER) send a crafted REST request. Depending on the branch, the attacker can make the server send requests they control (SSRF) or read local files and reach internal HTTP resources.

Model-written summary (anthropic/claude-haiku-5.5). Verify details against the original sources.

## Who should check

Teams running OpenKM Community Edition 6.3.3 to 6.3.13 or 7.0.3, including the FormUtils / LocalEntityResolver components

## Affected

- OpenKM OpenKM Community Edition: from 6.3.3, through 6.3.13

## Description

Vulnerability due to inadequate restriction of references to external XML entities in OpenKM Community Edition. The XML processing in FormUtils / LocalEntityResolver does not properly restrict the resolution of external resources. An authenticated remote attacker with the ROLE_USER role can exploit the flaw via a REST request. In the 6.3.x branch, this allows the attacker to trigger HTTP requests under their control (SSRF); in 7.0.3, it allows the attacker to read local files and access internal HTTP resources from the server.

## What to do

- Check your stack: if you ship or depend on OpenKM OpenKM Community Edition, upgrade to a fixed version (7.0.4) per the references below.
- For agents: to check a whole dependency tree, run the stack.check operation (execute) on the cve.now MCP server (https://mcp.cve.now/mcp, no auth) with the project's lockfile.

## Check your systems with an agent

```text
Check whether my systems are affected by CVE-2026-112181 (Multiple Vulnerabilities in OpenKM Community Edition), using the cve.now data below.

Rules: work read-only. Do not run exploit code, proof-of-concept scripts or scanners that send attack payloads, and do not change any configuration, package, image or deployment. Report findings only.

What cve.now has for CVE-2026-112181 (entry last updated 2026-11-13):
Affected:
- OpenKM OpenKM Community Edition: from 6.3.3, through 6.3.13
Fixed versions: 7.0.4.
Conditions (all must be true for the bug to be hit):
- Affected: OpenKM Community Edition 6.3.3 through 6.3.13 and 7.0.3, in the FormUtils / LocalEntityResolver components. (source: https://www.incibe.es/en/incibe-cert/notices/aviso/multiple-vulnerabilities-openkm-community-edition)
Setup: unknown whether the bug needs a non-default feature or setting. Check the advisory.
Attacker needs: network access, low-privilege login, no user action.
CISA KEV: CVE-2026-112181 is not listed as of cve.now's last read.
This KEV status is for CVE-2026-112181 only. If you also check another CVE, look up its own KEV status; never assume it from this one.

How to check:
- Installed software: check what is actually running, not what a repo declares. Read the version from each host, container image and Kubernetes node (the binary's version output, the OS package database, image layers), and check whether the conditions above hold there. Distribution packages may carry a backported fix under an older version number; confirm against the distribution's own advisory.

Verify against the linked advisories before concluding, and cite the date you read each one:

- https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2026-112181
Do not conclude an asset is unaffected unless you checked it and the evidence covers both its version and the conditions above. If you could not check something, mark it unknown and say what is missing.
