Description: "Summary: Apache log4net does not disable XML external entities when parsing log4net configuration files. This could allow for XXE-based attacks in applications that accept arbitrary configuration files from users. [1] Affected: log4net up to 2.0.8 Mitigation: as there are no further releases of log4net beyond 2.0.8, and the Logging Services PMC has voted [2] to mark the project dormant, users should not allow arbitrary configuration files to be specified from untrusted sources. While this is arguably a vulnerability, misuse of any framework allowing untrusted input to configure things is always a bad idea."
Note that a release isn't going to be made. A mask may be useful?
