CVE-2020-10683 (https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2020-10683):
  dom4j before 2.1.3 allows external DTDs and External Entities by default,
  which might enable XXE attacks. However, there is popular external
  documentation from OWASP showing how to enable the safe, non-default
  behavior in any application that uses dom4j.
