**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
xmldom versions 0.6.0 and older
**Description**
The issue is related to the incorrect filtering of special characters in the XML DOM implementation. This may lead to unexpected syntactic changes during XML processing in some downstream applications. The problem has been resolved in version 0.7.0. As a workaround, downstream applications can validate the input and reject maliciously crafted documents.
**Recommendations**
For versions 0.6.0 and older, update to version 0.7.0 or newer to resolve the issue.
As a temporary workaround, consider validating the input and rejecting maliciously crafted documents in downstream applications.
