XML injection High

This XML element depends on a
user-provided value

Copilot Autofix AI 3 months ago

To fix the XML injection vulnerability, we should avoid using the WriteRaw method with user input. Instead, we can use the high-level XML API methods that automatically escape user content. Specifically, we should replace the WriteRaw method with WriteStartElement and WriteElementString methods to ensure the content is appropriately escaped.
