-------------------------------------
Summary: Missing XML Validation (Veracode)
Key: XERCESC-2178
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/XERCESC-2178
Project: Xerces-C++
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Non-Validating Parser
Affects Versions: 2.8.0
Environment: AbstractDOMParser - Line 108.
Reporter: Arno Hofmann
Attachments: AbstractDOMParser.PNG, AbstractDOMParser2.PNG
Veracode flaw:
By explicitly disabling XML validation, the application is making an assumption
that the data provided will conform to the expected format. This can be
dangerous if the parser does not properly handle malformed data.
Recommendations:
Validate all XML data against a DTD schema to prevent an attacker from
providing malicious or otherwise unexpected
input.
