CVE-2026-54079

veraPDF validation provides PDF/A and PDF/UA validation, feature reporting, and metadata repair. From 1.17.35 until 1.30.2 and 1.31.71, veraPDF-validation contains an XML External Entity (XXE) vulnerability in validation-model/src/main/java/org/verapdf/gf/model/impl/pd/GFPDAcroForm.java in the getdynamicRender() method, where a crafted PDF containing a malicious XFA stream can cause external entity expansion during PDF/UA-1 validation and allow local file disclosure or outbound server-side requests. This issue is fixed in versions 1.30.2 and 1.31.71.

Summary		(es) La validación de veraPDF proporciona validación de PDF/A y PDF/UA, informes de características y reparación de metadatos. Desde la 1.17.35 hasta la 1.30.2 y la 1.31.71, veraPDF-validation contiene una vulnerabilidad de entidad externa XML (XXE) en validation-model/src/main/java/org/verapdf/gf/model/impl/pd/GFPDAcroForm.java en el método getdynamicRender(), donde un PDF manipulado que contiene un flujo XFA malicioso puede causar la expansión de entidades externas durante la validación de PDF/UA-1 y permitir la divulgación de archivos locales o solicitudes salientes del lado del servidor. Este problema está corregido en las versiones 1.30.2 y 1.31.71.
