AI generated property description:

The ServiceNow property `glide.stax.allow_entity_resolution` controls whether entity resolution and expansion are permitted when using the XMLDocument2 parser. According to the provided documentation, setting this property to `false` will disable all entity resolution and expansion. This is a security measure to prevent XML External Entity (XXE) attacks, which can exploit XML parsers to access unauthorized data or cause denial of service. Disabling entity resolution ensures that the XML parser does not process any external entities, thereby mitigating potential security risks. This property is particularly important for maintaining the integrity and security of XML data processing within the ServiceNow platform.
