Uncontrolled recursion in Unmarshal in encoding/xml before Go 1.17.12 and Go 1.18.4 allows an attacker to cause a panic due to stack exhaustion via unmarshalling an XML document into a Go struct which has a nested field that uses the any field tag.
The product does not properly control the amount of recursion that takes place, consuming excessive resources, such as allocated memory or the program stack.
