FreeCAD versions prior to 1.1.2 are vulnerable due to improper handling of XML parsing, allowing attackers to exploit crafted .FCStd archives. This vulnerability can lead to unauthorized access to local files and the potential for server-side requests, posing a risk to sensitive data. Users and organizations utilizing FreeCAD should prioritize upgrading to version 1.1.2 to mitigate these risks.

Original NVD Description

FreeCAD is a free and open-source multiplatform 3D parametric modeler. Prior to 1.1.2, the Xerces SAX2 XMLReader constructed in src/Base/Reader.cpp by Base::XMLReader::XMLReader() parses attacker-controlled Document.xml from a crafted .FCStd archive without disabling default external entity resolution or external DTD loading. When Document::restore() opens the document, external entities can read local files through the file URI scheme or initiate server-side requests through the http URI scheme, and resolved content can flow through the characters() callback. This issue is fixed in version 1.1.2.
