Some (historic) references:

[...] At least with libxml2 version 2.9, the processing of XML external entities is disabled per default - and cannot be exploited. [...]

Back in 2020 all major OS distributions used a safe libxml2 version - it was not possible back than to exploit XXE in the TYPO3 core - unless entity expansion was explicitly enabled in PHP code with LIBXML_NOENT when invoking the parser.

I'm just leaving this comment here for potential "security researchers" reporting things for TYPO3 before v12 (not having a PHP 8.0 requirement).
