Summary
Newell Brands DYMO ID from 1.5.1.71 before 1.6.0 parses job files with XmlDocument.Load() without disabling DTD processing, which is an XML external entity flaw (CWE-611). The PC Job Files view parses every recognized job file when a user browses a folder, so a crafted file on any browsed network share triggers it. An attacker who places such a file needs no privileges or user interaction and can perform server-side request forgery, capture NTLMv2 credentials, read local files, or crash the process.
