CVE-2025-65482
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedAn XML External Entity (XXE) vulnerability in opensagres XDocReport v0.9.2 to v2.0.3 allows attackers to execute arbitrary code via uploading a crafted .docx file.
Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.
dbcve analysis · moderate confidenceopensagres XDocReport versions 0.9.2 through 2.0.3 contain an XXE vulnerability in .docx file parsing that allows attackers to inject malicious external entity references into XML documents, potentially leading to arbitrary code execution through server-side request forgery or file system access.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.
dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Identify XDocReport installationSearch for xdocreport JAR files in the application's classpath, lib directory, or dependencies (Maven pom.xml, Gradle build files). Common paths: WEB-INF/lib/, lib/, or build dependencies.Affected if XDocReport library is present in the application
-
Check installed versionExamine the xdocreport JAR filename or the dependency declaration for the exact version number. For Maven: grep -i 'xdocreport' pom.xml. For JARs: ls xdocreport*.jarAffected if Version is >= 0.9.2 and <= 2.0.3
-
Verify .docx parsing usageSearch codebase for imports of XDocReport docx conversion classes (e.g., XWPFConverter, DocxToXmlConverter) or code that loads .docx files using XDocReport APIs.Affected if Application code parses .docx files using XDocReport
-
Inspect XML parser configurationCheck XML parser initialization code for DocumentBuilderFactory or XMLStreamReader configuration. Look for whether FEATURE_SECURE_PROCESSING is set and whether external entity resolution has been explicitly disabled.Affected if External entity resolution is not explicitly disabled in the XML parser (parser uses default vulnerable configuration)
You are affected if XDocReport version 0.9.2-2.0.3 is present AND your application parses .docx files using XDocReport AND the XML parser has not had external entity resolution disabled.
Generated from the published advisory. Verify against your own configuration.
Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
dbcve · scopedUpgrade to a patched version of XDocReport if available, or disable external entity resolution in the XML parser configuration used by the application.
XDocReport 2.0.4 or latest stable release (check https://github.com/opensagres/xdocreport/releases)
- 1. Identify all Maven/Gradle dependencies referencing 'fr.opensagres.xdocreport' with versions between 0.9.2 and 2.0.3
- 2. Update the dependency version to 2.0.4 or later in your pom.xml (Maven) or build.gradle (Gradle)
- 3. Rebuild and test your application to ensure the upgrade does not break existing functionality
- 4. Re-scan or re-pentest to verify the XXE vulnerability is no longer present
