Furthermore, XML entity references can include any file inside the source dir and below without using the `--allow-local-file-access` flag. \n\nThe `xml2rfc <= 3.26.0` behaviour:\n\n|  | `xinclude` | XML entity reference | `artwork src=` | `sourcecode src=` |\n|---|---|---|---|---|\n| without `--allow-local-file-access` flag | No filesystem access | Any file in xml2rfc templates dir and below, any file in source directory and below | Access source directory and below | Access source directory and below |\n| with `--allow-local-file-access` flag | Access any file on filesystem[^1] | Access any file on filesystem[^1] | Access source directory and below | Access source directory and below | Access source directory and below |\n\n  [^1]: Access any file of the filesystem with the permissions of the user running `xml2rfc` can access.\n\n### Impact\n\nAnyone running `xml2rfc` as a service that accepts input from external users is impacted by this issue.\nSpecifying a file in `src` attribute in `artwork` or `sourcecode` elements will cause the contents of that file to appear in xml2rfc’s output results.\nBut that file has to be inside the same directory as the XML input source file.\nFor `artwork` and `sourcecode`, `xml2rfc` will not look above the source file directory.\n\n### The proposed new behaviour\n- Generalize file access checks.\n- Only allow access to files within src dir and below. (xml entity include can access templates dir).\n- Always allow access to `templates_dir` for XML entity includes.\n\nNew behaviour:\n\n|  | `xinclude` | XML entity reference | `artwork src=` | `sourcecode src=` |\n|---|---|---|---|---|\n| without `--allow-local-file-access` flag | No filesystem access | No filesystem access _(except for `templates_dir`)_ | No filesystem access | No filesystem access |\n| with `--allow-local-file-access` flag | Access source directory and below | Access source directory and below _(Can access`templates_dir`)._ | Access source directory and below | Access source directory and below |\n\n### Workarounds\n\nUse a secure temporary directory to process un-trusted XML files, and do not reuse it for processing other XML documents.","references":[{"reference_url":"https://github.com/ietf-tools/xml2rfc","reference_id":"","reference_type":"","scores":[{"value":"6.9","scoring_system":"cvssv4","scoring_elements":"CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:L/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N"},{"value":"MODERATE","scoring_system":"generic_textual","scoring_elements":""}],"url":"https://github.com/ietf-tools/xml2rfc"},{"reference_url":"https://github.com/ietf-tools/xml2rfc/commit/ec98f9cb4b9a8658222117df037dda473ca3f4e4","reference_id":"","reference_type":"","scores":[{"value":"6.9","scoring_system":"cvssv4","scoring_elements":"CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:L/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N"},{"value":"MODERATE","scoring_system":"generic_textual","scoring_elements":""}],"url":"https://github.com/ietf-tools/xml2rfc/commit/ec98f9cb4b9a8658222117df037dda473ca3f4e4"},{"reference_url":"https://github.com/ietf-tools/xml2rfc/security/advisories/GHSA-432c-wxpg-m4q3","reference_id":"","reference_type":"","scores":[{"value":"6.9","scoring_system":"cvssv4","scoring_elements":"CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:L/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N"},{"value":"MODERATE","scoring_system":"generic_textual","scoring_elements":""}],"url":"https://github.com/ietf-tools/xml2rfc/security/advisories/GHSA-432c-wxpg-m4q3"},{"reference_url":"https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-432c-wxpg-m4q3","reference_id":"GHSA-432c-wxpg-m4q3","reference_type":"","scores":[],"url":"https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-432c-wxpg-m4q3"}],"fixed_packages":[{"url":"http://public2.vulnerablecode.io/api/packages/377301?format=json","purl":"pkg:pypi/xml2rfc@3.27.0","is_vulnerable":true,"affected_by_vulnerabilities":[{"vulnerability":"VCID-96zb-v69y-7udq"},{"vulnerability":"VCID-hzv3-nqaf-ckcx"}],"resource_url":"http://public2.vulnerablecode.io/packages/pkg:pypi/xml2rfc@3.27.0"}],"aliases":["GHSA-432c-wxpg-m4q3"],"risk_score":null,"exploitability":null,"weighted_severity":null,"resource_url":"http://public2.vulnerablecode.io/vulnerabilities/VCID-7h51-2ny1-z7fd"},{"url":"http://public2.vulnerablecode.io/api/vulnerabilities/360548?format=json","vulnerability_id":"VCID-96zb-v69y-7udq","summary":"xml2rfc
