AI-suggested
Until a fix is available, consider limiting the size and complexity of XML inputs or using alternative XML parsers that enforce attribute count limits.
Description
roxmltree through 0.21.1 performs quadratic-time attribute and namespace validation during XML parsing without limits on attribute count. Attackers can craft XML documents with tens of thousands of attributes on a single element to consume excessive CPU time and cause denial of service.
