GrassMarlin primarily uses the XML format to save session files, using many files to save different kinds of data, including lists of nodes and edges, node positioning, colors, and session metadata, before bundling them into a ZIP archive and saving them using a .gm3 extension.<\/p>\n<div aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"adun\" data-pos=\"top\" data-raptor=\"falcon\" data-xsm=\",fluid,mpu,dmpu,\" data-sm=\",fluid,mpu,dmpu,\" data-md=\",fluid,mpu,dmpu,\"> <noscript> <a href=\"https:\/\/pubads.g.doubleclick.net\/gampad\/jump?co=1&amp;iu=\/6978\/reg_security\/front&amp;sz=300x50%7C300x100%7C300x250%7C300x251%7C300x252%7C300x600%7C300x601&amp;tile=4&amp;c=44afJH34QR2G13JQ7x--vJJwAAAdE&amp;t=ct%3Dns%26unitnum%3D4%26raptor%3Dfalcon%26pos%3Dmid%26test%3D0\" target=\"_blank\"> <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/pubads.g.doubleclick.net\/gampad\/ad?co=1&amp;iu=\/6978\/reg_security\/front&amp;sz=300x50%7C300x100%7C300x250%7C300x251%7C300x252%7C300x600%7C300x601&amp;tile=4&amp;c=44afJH34QR2G13JQ7x--vJJwAAAdE&amp;t=ct%3Dns%26unitnum%3D426raptor%3Dfalcon%26pos%3Dmid%26test%3D0\" alt> <\/a> <\/noscript> <\/div>\n<p>Often referred to as XML External Entity (XXE) attacks, these typically involve tricking a system owner into parsing a maliciously crafted XML file that has been tampered with to exfiltrate data.<\/p>\n<p>This is a general overview of how XXE attacks play out. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theregister.com\/2026\/04\/24\/government_cni_on_high_alert\/\">CISA<\/a> did not define how CVE-2026-6807 could be exploited specifically.<\/p>\n<p>Anna Quinn, penetration tester at Rapid7, however, worked up a public proof-of-concept exploit and posted it to <a href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/SecTestAnnaQuinn\/Grassmarlin-CVE-2026-6807-XXE-POC\/tree\/main\" rel=\"nofollow\">GitHub<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Looking at the code for Grassmarlin, I determined that the likely vulnerable parameters had to do with the XML files ingested when opening stored sessions,&#8221; Quinn wrote. &#8220;By crafting malicious requests I discovered I could induce an error in the message console within Grassmarlin. The cause and content of the error was properly stripped from all logs and output within Grassmarlin.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;However, OOB exfiltration of arbitrary files was possible by referencing an external host in the DTD. Some caveats did appear to apply, newer versions of Java could not be used on the system, meaning that Grassmarlin had to use the version of Java bundled in the installer. Additionally, many types of input would cause errors which would impede the exfil process. To bypass this, the content would be converted to base64 and then sent across multiple message chunks.&#8221;<\/p>\n<div aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"adun\" id=\"story_eagle_xsm_sm_md_xmd_lg_xlg\"
