In Soap Lite (aka the SOAP::Lite extension for Perl) 1.14 and earlier, an example attack consists of defining 10 or more XML entities, each defined as consisting of 10 of the previous entity, with the document consisting of a single instance of the largest entity, which expands to one billion copies of the first entity. The amount of computer memory used for handling an external SOAP call would likely exceed that available to the process parsing the XML.

The Soap Making (aka com.tapatalk.soapmakingforumcom) application 3.7.13 for Android does not verify X.509 certificates from SSL servers, which allows man-in-the-middle attackers to spoof servers and obtain sensitive information via a crafted certificate.

SOAPpy 0.12.5 does not properly detect recursion during entity expansion, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory and CPU consumption) via a crafted SOAP request containing a large number of nested entity references.

SOAPpy 0.12.5 allows remote attackers to read arbitrary files via a SOAP request containing an external entity declaration in conjunction with an entity reference, related to an XML External Entity (XXE) issue.

The WSDL/WADL import functionality in SoapUI before 4.6.4 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary Java code via a crafted request parameter in a WSDL file.

Apache Axis 1.4 and earlier, as used in PayPal Payments Pro, PayPal Mass Pay, PayPal Transactional Information SOAP, the Java Message Service implementation in Apache ActiveMQ, and other products, does not verify that the server hostname matches a domain name in the subject's Common Name (CN) or subjectAltName field of the X.509 certificate, which allows man-in-the-middle attackers to spoof SSL servers via an arbitrary valid certificate.

NuSOAP 0.9.5 allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive information via a direct request to a .php file, which reveals the installation path in an error message, as demonstrated by nuSOAP/classes/class.wsdl.php and certain other files.

Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in NuSOAP 0.9.5, as used in MantisBT and other products, allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via the PATH_INFO to an arbitrary PHP script that uses NuSOAP classes.

liguidsoap.py in liguidsoap 0.3.8.1+2 allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on (1) /tmp/liguidsoap.liq, (2) /tmp/lig.#####.log, and (3) /tmp/emission.ogg temporary files.

SOAP::Lite 0.50 through 0.52 allows remote attackers to load arbitrary Perl functions by suppling a non-existent function in a script using a SOAP::Lite module, which causes the AUTOLOAD subroutine to trigger.
