Disable XML entitiy expansion for SOAP-based APIs managed using API Connect

Issues with APIc managed APIs were found when running vulnerability tests against published APIs.   

It was possible for an attacker to use a vulnerability in the configuration of the XML processor, when submitting API requests using SOAP, to potentially cause a denial of service condition, denying access to the application from genuine users by exhausting all resources. This configuration allowed attackers to define XML entities, which could be abused to perform an XML entity expansion attack.

 

We'd like to be able to prevent any XML entity expansion from being processed for SOAP APIs.

    There was some discussion on this issue as part of a support request; that discussion is internal to IBM but relevant here when this is reviewed.
