CVE-2020-2178

Description

Parasoft Findings Plugin implements a static analysis parser for various Parasoft products and integrates with [Warnings Plugin](https://plugins.jenkins.io/warnings) (10.4.1 and earlier) and [Warnings NG Plugin](https://plugins.jenkins.io/warnings-ng) (10.4.2 and newer). Parasoft Findings Plugin 10.4.3 and earlier does not configure its XML parser to prevent XML external entity (XXE) attacks. This allows a user able to control the input files for the Parasoft Findings parser to have Jenkins parse a crafted file that uses external entities for extraction of secrets from the Jenkins controller or server-side request forgery. Parasoft Findings Plugin 10.4.4 disables external entity resolution for its XML parser.
