XML injection and XML parsing-related vulnerabilities aren't always observable from the client-side code – the XML part of the processing chain could be occurring within the server formatting your client-side input.

<password>Thew45p!</password>
<userid>500</userid>
<mail>[email protected]</mail>
</user>
You can exploit this behavior to do different kinds of injection, including...
