💡 XML External Entity (XXE) Attacks
XXE vulnerabilities in XML parsers allow attackers to read local files, perform SSRF, and execute denial of service attacks. Many legacy applications and APIs remain vulnerable to XXE due to insecure default XML parser configurations.
💡 Privacy-Preserving Threat Detection
Advanced techniques enable threat detection while minimizing privacy impact. Encrypted DNS, differential privacy in analytics, and federated learning for threat models allow effective security monitoring without unnecessary surveillance of legitimate user behavior.
