mitigating xxe attacks
Mitigating XXE (XML External Entity) attacks refers to taking preventive measures to minimize the likelihood and impact of such attacks. XXE attacks involve an attacker exploiting vulnerabilities in XML parsers to gain unauthorized access to sensitive data or execute malicious code. To mitigate these attacks, safeguards like proper input validation, disabling external entity references, and utilizing secure parsers are implemented to significantly reduce the risk and potential harm caused by XXE attacks.
