1) XML External Entity injection (CVE-ID: CVE-2019-13990)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to conduct an XML External Entity (XXE) attack on a targeted system.

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied XML input in the "initDocumentParser" function in the "xml/XMLSchedulingDataProcessor.java" file. A remote authenticated attacker can submit a malicious job description to the targeted system and conduct an XXE attack.



2) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2019-16943)
