mofh before 1.0.1 is vulnerable to Improper Restriction of XML External Entity Reference. The xml.etree.ElementTree module implements a simple and efficient API for parsing and creating XML data. Due to the issue, mpfh is vulnerable to Billion Laughs and Quadratic Blowup, which lead to Denial of Service (DoS). The patched versions utilize the defusedxml package instead of xml.etree.ElementTree. Note: To exploit the vulnerability, the user must be using a custom API URL which has to be manually given using the api_url argument, or MyOwnFreeHost's API must be hacked.
