Best practices
- Don’t allow DTDs
- Don’t expand entities
- Don’t resolve externals
- Limit parse depth
- Limit total input size
- Limit parse time
- Favor a SAX or iterparse-like parser for potential large data
- Validate and properly quote arguments to XSL transformations and XPath queries
- Don’t use XPath expression from untrusted sources
- Don’t apply XSL transformations that come untrusted sources
