XXE vulnerability in Rundeck Plugin
Rundeck Plugin 3.6.6 and earlier does not configure its XML parser to prevent XML external entity (XXE) attacks.
This allows a user with Overall/Read access to have Jenkins parse a crafted HTTP request with XML data that uses external entities for extraction of secrets from the Jenkins controller or server-side request forgery.
Rundeck Plugin 3.6.7 disables external entity resolution for its XML parser.
