[io.jenkins.plugins:code-coverage-api] XXE vulnerability in Jenkins Code Coverage API Plugin

Code Coverage API Plugin 1.1.4 and earlier does not configure its XML parser to prevent XML external entity (XXE) attacks. This allows a user able to control the input files for the “Publish Coverage Report” post-build step to have Jenkins parse a crafted file that uses external entities for extraction of secrets from the Jenkins controller or server-side request forgery.

Code Coverage API Plugin 1.1.5 disables external entity resolution for its XML parser.
