XML Processing Modules

:synopsis: Package containing XML processing modules

Source code: :source:`Lib/xml/`
Python's interfaces for processing XML are grouped in the xml package.
It is important to note that modules in the :mod:`xml` package require that
there be at least one SAX-compliant XML parser available. The Expat parser is
included with Python, so the :mod:`xml.parsers.expat` module will always be
available.
The documentation for the :mod:`xml.dom` and :mod:`xml.sax` packages are the
definition of the Python bindings for the DOM and SAX interfaces.
The XML handling submodules are:
XML vulnerabilities
The XML processing modules are not secure against maliciously constructed data.
An attacker can abuse XML features to carry out denial of service attacks,
access local files, generate network connections to other machines, or
circumvent firewalls.
The following table gives an overview of the known attacks and whether
the various modules are vulnerable to them.

:mod:`xml.etree.ElementTree` doesn't expand external entities and raises a
:exc:`ParserError` when an entity occurs.
:mod:`xml.dom.minidom` doesn't expand external entities and simply returns
the unexpanded entity verbatim.
:mod:`xmlrpclib` doesn't expand external entities and omits them.
Since Python 3.7.1, external general entities are no longer processed by
default.
- billion laughs / exponential entity expansion
- The Billion Laughs attack; it abuses
entity expansion, too. Instead of nested entities it repeats one large entity
with a couple of thousand chars over and over again. The attack isn't as
efficient as the exponential case but it avoids triggering parser countermeasures
that forbid deeply-nested entities.
- external entity expansion
- Entity declarations can contain more than just text for replacement. They can
also point to external resources or local files. The XML
parser accesses the resource and embeds the content into the XML document.
-
:mod:`xml.dom.pulldom` retrieve document type
definitions from remote or local locations. The feature has similar
implications as the external entity expansion issue.
- decompression bomb
- Decompression bombs (aka defusedxml on PyPI has further information about
all known attack vectors with examples and references.
defusedexpat provides a modified libexpat and a patched
:mod:`pyexpat` module that have countermeasures against entity expansion
DoS attacks. The :mod:`defusedexpat` module still allows a sane and configurable amount of entity
expansions. The modifications may be included in some future release of Python,
but will not be included in any bugfix releases of
Python because they break backward compatibility.
