What is XML injection?
XML injection is a technique used to compromise the logic of programs used to parse XML file by inserting improper content or malicious codes into #XML files.
The malicious code may be hidden in CDATA elements.
The solution for this kind of attack can be prevented by *strongly typed every element and attribute with XML schema (XSD)
* define the number of elements maximum input allowed in XML schema (XSD),
* restrict characters such as < and > and entities &lt; and &gt;
* strict validation of the XML files
