XML parsing performed by the UcumEssenceService is vulnerable to XML external entity injections. A processed XML file with a malicious DTD tag could produce XML containing data from the host system. This impacts use cases where ucum is being used to within a host where external clients can submit XML.
Release 1.0.9 of ucum fixes this vulnerability
Ensure that the source xml for instantiating UcumEssenceService is trusted.
