CX XPath_Injection @ src/main/java/org/cysecurity/cspf/jvl/controller/XPathQuery.java [refs/heads/master]

[github-actions[bot]]

XPath_Injection issue exists @ src/main/java/org/cysecurity/cspf/jvl/controller/XPathQuery.java in branch refs/heads/master

The application's processRequest method constructs an XPath query, for navigating an XML document. The XPath query is created with compile, at line 53 of src\main\java\org\cysecurity\cspf\jvl\controller\XPathQuery.java, using an untrusted string embedded in the expression.   This may enable an attacker to modify the XPath expression, leading to an XPath Injection attack. The attacker may be able to inject the modified XPath expression via user input, ""username"", which is retrieved by the application in the processRequest method, at line 35 of src\main\java\org\cysecurity\cspf\jvl\controller\XPathQuery.java. This value then flows through the code to compile, as noted.
