What is CVE-2012-3363?

The Zend_XmlRpc component in Zend Framework versions prior to 1.11.12 and 1.12.0 contains a vulnerability that fails to adequately manage SimpleXMLElement classes. This loophole allows unauthorized remote attackers to exploit external entity references in an XML-RPC request, potentially leading to arbitrary file read access or the establishment of TCP connections. This vulnerability underscores the importance of properly handling XML data to prevent exploitation through XXE injection attacks.
