XXE vulnerability in Jenkins Robot Framework Plugin
Robot Framework Plugin 2.0.0 and earlier does not configure the XML parser to prevent XML external entity (XXE) attacks.
This allows a user able to control the input files for the 'Publish Robot Framework' post-build step to have Jenkins parse a crafted file that uses external entities for extraction of secrets from the Jenkins controller, server-side request forgery, or denial-of-service attacks.
Robot Framework Plugin 2.0.1 disables external entity resolution for its XML parser.
