Research direction
Start by reading the linked SonarSource XXE vulnerability report, then locate the conditional PHP 8 checks and uses of libxml_disable_entity_loader in the repository. Clarify the intended safe behavior and identify suitable tests before making changes; the issue is complete only when the behavior is implemented and verified without the conditional checks.
