XML parsing vulnerable to XXE for SAX Parsers
ID: java-security/xml-parsing-xxe-saxparser
Language: Java
Severity: Warning
Category: Security
CWE: 611
Your code may be vulnerable XML if you process XML from an untrusted source. Make sure to enable secure processing when you process XML data.
This rule is to check SAX parsers.
For DocumentBuilderFactory, make sure you set XMLConstants.FEATURE_SECURE_PROCESSING to true.
class MyClass {
public void test() {
SAXParser parser = SAXParserFactory.newInstance().newSAXParser();
parser.parse(inputStream, customHandler);
SAXParserFactory spf2 = SAXParserFactory.newInstance();
SAXParser parser = spf2.newSAXParser();
}
}
class MyClass {
public void test() {
SAXParserFactory spf = SAXParserFactory.newInstance();
spf.setFeature(XMLConstants.FEATURE_SECURE_PROCESSING, true);
SAXParser parser = spf.newSAXParser();
}
}
