Description
CVE-2026-66295 is an XML Injection vulnerability in the qcam saxy XML encoder versions from 0.7.0 up to but not including 1.7.0. The vulnerability arises because the encoder writes processing instruction targets and content verbatim without validation or escaping, allowing attackers to inject arbitrary XML constructs. This can cause the serialized XML document to differ from the intended structure, potentially leading to forged records, injected stylesheets, or malicious content in XML or SVG outputs. The issue is fixed in version 1.7.0.
