XML::Bare versions through 0.53 for Perl will hang in an infinite loop when parsing malformed attributes.

The parserc_parse function never advances the attribute-parse state cursor on certain malformed attribute forms, looping forever.

Nameless attributes such as <a =c> or unbalanced quotes can trigger this condition.

Weakness

The product contains an iteration or loop with an exit condition that cannot be reached, i.e., an infinite loop.
