XML Injection: An attack where malicious XML code is inserted into a system, exploiting insecure processing of XML input by an application. This can affect the logic of XML parsers, leading to unauthorized access, data exposure, or service disruption. It’s distinct from other injection attacks by specifically targeting XML parser vulnerabilities.
