A security feature bypass vulnerability exists in a .NET Framework component that does not properly validate certain elements of a signed XML document. An attacker who successfully exploited the vulnerability could modify the contents of an XML file without invalidating the signature associated with the file. If a .NET application relies on the signature to be non-malicious, the behavior of the application could become unpredictable. In custom applications, the security impact depends on the specific usage scenario.
