Fixes https://github.com/mybatis/ibatis-2/security/code-scanning/3
To fix the problem, we need to disable the parsing of external entities and DTDs explicitly. This can be done by setting the
setFeature
method on theDocumentBuilderFactory
to disallow DOCTYPE declarations and external entities. Additionally, we should setsetExpandEntityReferences(false)
to prevent the expansion of entity references.Suggested fixes powered by Copilot Autofix. Review carefully before merging.
