CVE-2026-41675: xmldom has XML node injection through unvalidated processing instruction serialization
(updated )
The package allows attacker-controlled processing instruction data to be serialized into XML without validating or neutralizing the PI-closing sequence ?>. As a result, an attacker can terminate the processing instruction early and inject arbitrary XML nodes into the serialized output.
