CPANSA-XML-Simple-2018-01 (2018-02-18)

The No. 4 item on the OWASP top 10 is external XML entities. When using XML::Parser, XML::Simple is currently vulnerable by default.

Changes for version 2.13

  • Fixed bug where NoIndent broke KeyAttr (reported by David Haas)
  • Added copy_hash helper method which may be overridden to avoid tied hashes becoming untied during XMLout (patch from Jan Sundberg)
  • Fixed bug where GroupTags corrupted source hashref in XMLout (reported by Bram)
  • Tweaks to SuppressEmpty for undef with XMLout (report from jamesb), behaviour now matches docs and additional behaviour of setting option to 1 will skip undefined values altogether
