SiteMapper — Blind parse
Scenario
The blind parser still resolves external entities but shows no file contents. Success is silent—a processed status without data leakage. Confirm entity expansion works even when nothing is reflected.
Your approach
- Reuse the entity technique from the reflected parser lab.
- Upload valid malicious XML to the blind endpoint.
- Watch for a processed response without error messages.
- Note the lab flag issued for successful blind parsing.
- Submit that flag.

XML ingest
Upload document
Upload XML the same way as the reflected lab. Success here means the parser resolved an external entity even though you see no file contents.
