Security Advisories (1)
CVE-2015-8978 (2015-07-21)

An example attack consists of defining 10 or more XML entities, each defined as consisting of 10 of the previous entity, with the document consisting of a single instance of the largest entity, which expands to one billion copies of the first entity. The amount of computer memory used for handling an external SOAP call would likely exceed that available to the process parsing the XML.

NAME

XML::Parser::Lite - Lightweight regexp-based XML parser

SYNOPSIS

use XML::Parser::Lite;

$p1 = new XML::Parser::Lite;
$p1->setHandlers(
  Start => sub { shift; print "start: @_\n" },
  Char => sub { shift; print "char: @_\n" },
  End => sub { shift; print "end: @_\n" },
);
$p1->parse('<foo id="me">Hello World!</foo>');

$p2 = new XML::Parser::Lite
  Handlers => {
    Start => sub { shift; print "start: @_\n" },
    Char => sub { shift; print "char: @_\n" },
    End => sub { shift; print "end: @_\n" },
  }
;
$p2->parse('<foo id="me">Hello <bar>cruel</bar> World!</foo>');

DESCRIPTION

This Perl module gives you access to XML parser with interface similar to XML::Parser interface. Though only basic calls are supported (init, final, start, char, and end) you should be able to use it in the same way you use XML::Parser. Due to using experimantal regexp features it'll work only on Perl 5.6 and may behave differently on different platforms.
