cwe-91-xml-injection

To fix CWE-91 XML Injection vulnerabilities in Java, you must remediate direct user input concatenation into XML strings by implementing secure XML parsing and proper data escaping.

XML injection occurs when malicious user input is concatenated directly into XML strings, allowing attackers to interpret malicious data as XML commands and manipulate application logic in Java applications.

Prevent XML injection during user input concatenation by using XML libraries like JAXB or DOM for secure parsing, or apply proper data escaping using utilities like StringEscapeUtils.

Yes, this remediation approach works with JAXB and DOM XML libraries in Java, providing deterministic fixes and secure code generation to ensure proper XML processing against injection attacks.

The best way to secure Java XML parsing is to implement data escaping with StringEscapeUtils or use secure XML libraries, preventing malicious data from being interpreted as XML commands.
