I was scanning Apache PDFBox v1.8.16 jar in BlackDuck and it got flagged
with the following report:

*CVE-2019-0228*

Apache PDFBox 2.0.14 does not properly initialize the XML parser, which
allows context-dependent attackers to conduct XML External Entity (XXE)
attacks via a crafted XFDF.

>From the report: It talks about v2.0.14 but I am on v1.8.16 which is
wondering.

My concern is that: I am using Apache PdfBox 1.8.16 which was released on
3rd July,2020 after the issue was reported( on 17 Apr 2019).So, Did it get
resolved in this version?

Thanks,
Avinash.
