This PR addresses a potential vulnerability in the createDocument() function in XmlConverter.java that could lead to XML External Entity (XXE) attacks because it does not set the XMLConstants.ACCESS_EXTERNAL_DTD or XMLConstants.ACCESS_EXTERNAL_SCHEMA attributes to restrict access to external resources. This issue was originally reported and resolved in the repository via this commit soartech/jsoar@ae6a2ec.
