An attack technique known as XPath Injection is utilized to take advantage of applications that form XPath (XML Path Language) queries based on user input to query or navigate XML documents.
Exploitation (XPath Injection): XPath injections can occur if an application uses untrusted user input to construct XPath queries. An attacker may manipulate input to extract sensitive data or potentially disrupt the application.
30 lis 2023 · XPath Injection occurs when applications construct XPath queries for XML data without proper validation, allowing attackers to exploit user input. This vulnerability enables unauthorized access to sensitive data, authentication bypass, and application logic interference.
Similar to SQL Injection, XPath Injection attacks occur when a web site uses user-supplied information to construct an XPath query for XML data. By sending intentionally malformed information into the web site, an attacker can find out how the XML data is structured, or access data that they may not normally have access to.
25 sty 2022 · XPath defines a range for selectors ( /, .., @, etc.) and operators ( and, or, >, ≥, <, ≤, etc.) to perform these and other operations. Here’s how this works: /root/node
In this lesson, you will learn how XPath injection works and how to protect your applications against it. We will begin by exploiting an XPath injection vulnerability in a simple application. Then we will analyze the vulnerable code and explore some options for remediation and prevention.
XPath Injection is an attack technique used to exploit applications that construct XPath (XML Path Language) queries from user-supplied input to query or navigate XML documents.
