Overview

XQuery injection is a variant of the classic SQL-injection. The attack vector in that case is XML database.

The application executes an XQuery expression generated on the basis of data from an untrusted source. This allows an attacker to change the semantics of the expression or execute arbitrary XQuery expressions.
