It seems impossible to completely resolve and I believe a possible error in GitHub reporting. The vulnerability only affects having arbitrary XML. The dependency is transitive via Spotless for plugins/core which use an ecplise formatting file. Since we have 100% control over the XML used, I don’t think we are vulnerable.

Maybe we can follow what K-nn is doing here: https://github.com/opensearch-project/k-NN/pull/1323/files
