How to prevent it (1 mitigation)
-
Architecture and Design
Always validate XML input against a known XML Schema or DTD.
It is not possible for an XML parser to validate all aspects of a document's content because a parser cannot understand the complete semantics of the data. However, a parser can do a complete and thorough job of checking the document's structure and therefore guarantee to the code that processes the document that the content is well-formed.
