Subject: Re: XSLT issue in MoinMoin
> How exactly does the attacker get access to the filesystem using XSLT?
An attacker can read files using either the doc-as-string() extension
function or a XML External Entity attack. Write access is done via the
<exsl:document> extension element.
Depending of your policy, you may want to affect one, two or three CVE
(one by vector ? by impact ? by type of bug ?).

Yes. Unless an obscure and undocumented option allows to deactivate this
behavior :-(
My XSLT Wiki has some additional details, including PoC code :
- http://goo.gl/3A7h2 (4Suite)
- http://goo.gl/GI5NK (MoinMoin)
