Description: XML injection is a type of attack that targets applications processing data in XML format by injecting malicious XML code into requests sent to a server. This type of attack can compromise the integrity and confidentiality of data, as well as the availability of the service. XML injection relies on manipulating the structure of the XML document to alter its expected behavior, which can lead to unauthorized command execution, disclosure of sensitive information, or data alteration. Applications that do not properly validate input data or that use vulnerable XML processing libraries are particularly susceptible to this type of attack. XML injection can be used to exploit vulnerabilities in various systems, including database management systems, web services, and applications that rely on XML for communication between components. Detecting and preventing XML injection requires a proactive approach to software security, including rigorous input validation and the use of secure coding practices.
