Potential XXE Exploitation Attempt In JVM Based Application
Detects potential XML External Entity (XXE) exploitation attempts in JVM-based applications by looking for specific XML parsing error keywords in application error logs. These errors, such as 'SAXParseException' and 'DOMException', can indicate that an attacker is trying to manipulate XML input to access local files, perform server-side request forgery (SSRF), or execute other malicious actions. The rule is designed to identify issues where an application expects to work with XML and the parser might not be initialized safely.
