Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to XML Injection during request serialization of scalar XML element values. An attacker can smuggle raw XML markup into generated output by supplying a string that contains CDATA terminator ]]>. This lets attacker-controlled content break out of the intended text node and alter the structure of XML documents produced by the application, leading to malformed output or injected elements in downstream consumers.
