This PR addresses a potential vulnerability in the parse() function in XmlUtil.java that could lead to XML External Entity (XXE) attacks because it does not explicitly disables features that allow external entities and Document Type Definitions (DTDs) which are the primary vectors for XXE attacks. This issue was originally reported and resolved in the repository via this commit codelibs/fess@4e0d9f5.
