HTTP: Drupal Core XML-RPC Endpoint Internal Entity Expansion Denial of Service
This signature detects attempts to exploit a known vulnerability against Drupal Core XML-RPC. The vulnerability is due to an input validation error when an XML-RPC endpoint handles Internal Entity Expansion. This can cause a very high CPU load and memory exhaustion. A successful attack can result in a denial-of-service condition.
