Element and Attribute Names Injected Verbatim into XML Output in xml_builder

view advisory published 2026-08-21Licence: per source

## Summary XML Injection vulnerability in joshnuss xml_builder (`XmlBuilder` module) allows Content Spoofing, XML Injection. This vulnerability is associated with program files `lib/xml_builder.ex` and program routines `XmlBuilder.generate/1`, `XmlBuilder.generate/2`, `XmlBuilder.element/1`, `XmlBuilder.element/2`, `XmlBuilder.element/3`. Element names, attribute names, and doctype identifiers are interpolated verbatim into the serialized XML output without validation or escaping of structural characters (`<`, `>`, `"`, `'`, `&`). An attacker who can influence a name argument (for example, an element name derived from a JSON object key or an HTTP form field name) can inject arbitrary XML markup including extra elements, comments, and event-handler attributes into the output document. This issue affects xml_builder: from 0.0.1 before 2.4.1.
