Executive Summary

CVE-2026-94108 is an XML External Entity (XXE) injection vulnerability in the getID3 library versions before 1.9.26. The XML2array function fails to properly disable XML entity loading on PHP versions below 8.0 due to error suppression. Attackers can embed malicious XML metadata in media files to read local files, perform server-side request forgery, or cause denial of service through entity expansion attacks.

Detection Guidance

To detect this vulnerability, inspect media files processed by getID3 for malicious XML metadata. Check PHP version; if below 8.0, verify if libxml_disable_entity_loader() fails silently. Review logs for XXE-related errors or unusual file access patterns.

Impact Analysis

If exploited, this vulnerability could allow attackers to read sensitive files on your server, make unauthorized requests to internal systems, or crash your application through excessive resource consumption. Systems using PHP versions below 8.0 with getID3 before 1.9.26 are particularly at risk.

Compliance Impact

This vulnerability could lead to unauthorized data exposure, violating GDPR's data protection requirements and HIPAA's security rules for protected health information. A successful XXE attack may result in data breaches, triggering compliance violations and potential legal penalties.

Mitigation Strategies

Upgrade getID3 to version 1.9.26 or later. Ensure PHP is updated to 8.0 or higher. If using older PHP, manually patch the XML2array() function to remove error suppression and add LIBXML_NOENT to GETID3_LIBXML_OPTIONS.
