ISSUE-3

Can XQuery/XPath contribute to attack vectors?

State:
CLOSED
Product:
wsc-xit
Raised by:
Stephen Farrell
Opened on:
2006-11-21
Description:
See the disposition of ACTION-3; in particular the note at [1]. The basic
question is how xpath and xquery, when used in conjunction with Web content, can
contribute to attacks against the secure display of security context information.

The expectation is to revisit this issue when there is an actual draft of the
techniques document.
