Subject: [PATCH] Do not enable expanding entities by default
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Expanding external entity is insecure.
<https://www.owasp.org/index.php/XML_External_Entity_(XXE)_Processing>.
This patch makes expand_entities option disabled by default.
