CWE-112

Missing XML Validation

BaseDraft

Description

The product accepts XML from an untrusted source but does not validate the XML against the proper schema.

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.
