    • circumventBug2650

      public static void circumventBug2650(Document doc)
      This method spreads all namespace attributes in a DOM document to their children. This is needed because the XML Signature XPath transform must evaluate the XPath against all nodes in the input, even against XPath namespace nodes. Through a bug in XalanJ2, the namespace nodes are not fully visible in the Xalan XPath model, so we have to do this by hand in DOM spaces so that the nodes become visible in XPath space.
      Parameters:
      doc -

      public static boolean protectAgainstWrappingAttack(Node startNode, String value)

It checks that no two Elements have ID Attributes that match the "value" argument, if this is the case then "false" is returned. Note that a return value of "true" does not necessarily mean that a matching Element has been found, just that no wrapping attack has been detected.
    • protectAgainstWrappingAttack

      public static boolean protectAgainstWrappingAttack(Node startNode, Element knownElement, String value)
      This method is a tree-search to help prevent against wrapping attacks. It checks that no other Element than the given "knownElement" argument has an ID attribute that matches the "value" argument, which is the ID value of "knownElement". If this is the case then "false" is returned.
