CVE-2026-40042 Details
Description
Pachno 1.0.6 contains an XML external entity injection vulnerability that allows unauthenticated attackers to read arbitrary files by exploiting unsafe XML parsing in the TextParser helper. Attackers can inject malicious XML entities through wiki table syntax and inline tags in issue descriptions, comments, and wiki articles to trigger entity resolution via simplexml_load_string() without LIBXML_NONET restrictions.
A XML external entity injection vulnerability has been identified in Pachno version 1.0.6. This vulnerability allows unauthenticated attackers to read arbitrary files by exploiting unsafe XML parsing in the TextParser helper. The issue arises because the application does not properly restrict entity resolution in XML data processed through wiki table syntax and allowed inline tags in issue descriptions, comments, and wiki articles. Attackers can inject malicious XML entities that are then resolved by the XML parser, potentially leading to unauthorized file access.
