Official description
MoguBlog through 6.2 contains an XML external entity injection vulnerability in the WeChat callback handler at POST /wechat/wechatCheck. The WechatRestApi.index() method passes the raw request body to SignUtil.xmlToMap(), which uses an unhardened dom4j SAXReader without DTD or external-entity restrictions. Unauthenticated remote attackers can submit DOCTYPE declarations with external parameter entities to read arbitrary local files or trigger outbound HTTP requests, with resolved entities reflected in error responses.

The underlying weakness: Improper Restriction of XML External Entity Reference
The product processes an XML document that can contain XML entities with URIs that resolve to documents outside of the intended sphere of control, causing the product to embed incorrect documents into its output.
How developers prevent this class of flaw
- Many XML parsers and validators can be configured to disable external entity expansion.
