When an XML element has a large number of sub elements and the system tries to process all the sub elements, the system can become unstable due to a memory overhead. This is a security risk.
To avoid this issue, you can define a maximum level of entity substitutions that the XML parser allows in the system. You do this using the entity expansion limit as follows in the <WSO2_OB_APIM_HOME>/bin/wso2server.bat file (for Windows) or the <WSO2_OB_APIM_HOME>/bin/wso2server.sh file (for Linux/Solaris). The default entity expansion limit is 64000.
-DentityExpansionLimit=10000
In a clustered environment, the entity expansion limit has no dependency on the number of worker nodes.
