SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires requests, and includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

XML parsing vulnerabilities in web applications can lead to data exposure, SSRF, and Denial of Service; this Skill provides structured testing for XXE, XPath injection, and related attacks.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Automated XXE payload testing (Linux/Windows file reads, SSRF, DoS)
  • XPath injection testing for login and search endpoints
  • Detection for content-type switch and SVG XXE via file uploads
  • Generates a structured assessment report with findings and remediation guidance

Quick Start

Run the XML Injection Testing agent against your target endpoints to begin identifying XXE and XPath vulnerabilities.

FAQPage Schema
How do I test for XXE and XPath injection vulnerabilities in SOAP services?

To test for XXE and XPath injection vulnerabilities in SOAP services, you can execute predefined payloads via HTTP requests against XML-based endpoints. This automated testing identifies data exposure, SSRF, and DoS risks.

What is XML injection testing and when do I need it for web applications?

XML injection testing identifies weaknesses in XML parsing that can lead to data exposure, SSRF, and Denial of Service. You need it during security assessments of APIs, SOAP services, and XML-based processing endpoints.

Can I detect SVG XXE vulnerabilities through file upload endpoints?

Yes, you can detect SVG XXE vulnerabilities through file upload endpoints. The testing process includes specific detection techniques for content-type switching and SVG XXE via file uploads to identify parsing flaws.

How do I automate XXE payload testing for Linux and Windows file reads?

You can automate XXE payload testing for Linux and Windows file reads by leveraging a Python-based agent. It executes predefined payloads via HTTP requests and generates a JSON-formatted findings report.

Do I need Python requests to run XML injection testing agents?

Yes, you need the Python requests library installed to run the XML injection testing agent. It serves as the dependency for executing predefined payloads via HTTP requests against target endpoints.

What is the best way to generate a structured report for XPath injection findings?

The best way to generate a structured report for XPath injection findings is to use an automated testing agent that outputs a JSON-formatted assessment report. This report includes detailed findings and remediation guidance.
