CWE-112: Missing XML Validation
Weakness ID : 112
Structure : Simple
Abstraction : Base
Description
The product accepts XML from an untrusted source but does not validate the XML against the
proper schema.
Extended Description
Most successful attacks begin with a violation of the programmer's assumptions. By accepting an
XML document without validating it against a DTD or XML schema, the programmer leaves a door
open for attackers to provide unexpected, unreasonable, or malicious input.
