What is CVE-2015-5161?

The vulnerability in Zend Framework allows remote attackers to exploit XML external entity injection (XXE) by bypassing security checks in the XML processing. Specifically, when the Zend_Xml_Security::scan function is executed in a PHP-FPM environment with threading, it can be manipulated using multibyte encoded characters to conduct unauthorized actions or access sensitive data due to improper handling of XML entities. This flaw is critical for applications that utilize XML processing without adequate security measures.
