QID 730867: Apache OFBiz XXE Vulnerability

The OFBiz HTTP engine (org.apache.ofbiz.service.engine.HttpEngine.java) handles requests for HTTP services via the /webtools/control/httpService endpoint. Both POST and GET requests to the httpService endpoint may contain three parameters: serviceName, serviceMode, and serviceContext. The exploitation occurs by having DOCTYPEs pointing to external references that trigger a payload that returns secret information from the host.

Affected Versions
Apache OFBiz 16.11.01 to 16.11.04

QID Detection Logic (un-authenticated) :
This QID seds xml payload in POST request to check for root string
