## Description

The /webtools/control/xmlrpc endpoint in OFBiz XML-RPC event handler is
exposed to External Entity Injection by passing DOCTYPE declarations with
executable payloads that discloses the contents of files in the filesystem.
In addition, it can also be used to probe for open network ports, and
figure out from returned error messages whether a file exists or not. This
affects OFBiz 16.11.01 to 16.11.04.
