-----------------------------------
Resolution: Invalid
> 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: cw_dev
> Priority: Major
> Labels: Veracode, abstractdomparser
> 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.
