Summary

  • Executes the XMLDSig XSLT transform (http://www.w3.org/TR/1999/REC-xslt-19991116) behind a new non-default xslt feature, with the XSLT engine compiled into xml-sec instead of published separately.
  • Every XSLT execution in one operation shares a single policy-bounded allowance for work, output and recursion depth, failed executions included; compilation, the parsed input and execution share one workspace; inside a query, parsing and execution are also bounded by the query's remaining work; stylesheets resolve no external resources.
  • TransformPolicy::xslt_stylesheet_semantics selects how the stylesheet is read: as an element of the signed document by default, or as libxmlsec1 reads it for the compatible profile and the CLI.

Changes

  • Engine sources live under src/xslt, with tests in sibling files; the standalone engine crate builds the same sources.
  • Engine entry points report what they consumed whether they succeed or fail (compile_reported, parse_with_budget_reported, execute_reported); bounded parsing charges the retained tree and every parser pass; ExecutionEnvironment::with_work_ceiling bounds all kinds of execution work together.
  • Transform::Xslt requires an xsl:stylesheet or xsl:transform element as the sole content of its <Transform> and compiles it from the parsed tree, with entity and character references already replaced; the signature builder writes a parsed stylesheet with what it inherited, so it does not depend on its original document; node-set input goes through implicit inclusive C14N 1.0.
  • ResourcePolicy gains max_xslt_work, max_xslt_workspace_bytes, max_xslt_output_bytes and max_xslt_recursion_depth; stylesheet and input text also obey the XML document (encoded bytes included), node, depth, namespace-binding and parse-work limits.
  • Specification gives the stylesheet every namespace declaration in scope at its <Transform> and an ancestor's xml:space="preserve"; Libxmlsec1 compiles the content alone and skips unbound prefix-list entries, as libxmlsec1 and libxslt do. xml-sec-config parses the setting.
  • An octet-consuming transform after Enveloped (XSLT, Base64) no longer reports a dependency cycle through the excluded SignatureValue.
  • xml-sec-cli gains an xslt feature; the capability ledger classifies xmlSecHrefXslt as feature-gated and policy-permitted.
  • The structured crates move to 0.8 (structured-asn1 0.8.1 for the remaining-work query); xml-sec-xades checks certificate paths through structured-ltv; VerifiedSession::begin_digest provides the incremental digest their shared contract needs.
  • CI builds the xmlsec1 oracle with libxslt and runs tests and clippy with the xslt feature; docs describe the transform, its limits and the stylesheet setting.

Testing

Formatting, clippy, nextest (default, all features, and xslt), doctests and rustdoc with -D warnings pass; the xmlsec1 1.3.13 oracle tests sign and verify XSLT references in both directions, the Merlin and Phaos XSLT vectors verify, and engine output is checked byte for byte against xsltproc.

BREAKING CHANGE: Transform is #[non_exhaustive]; ResourcePolicy and TransformPolicy have new public fields; VerifiedSession::digest_in is replaced by begin_digest.

Closes #247

- Move the XSLT engine sources next to the xml-sec sources so the
  published package can compile them for the XMLDSig XSLT transform;
  the standalone crate keeps building them through lib.path
- Split every inline test module into sibling tests files
- Add the non-default `xslt` feature, which compiles src/xslt as a
  private module next to the embedded XPath and XML input sources
- Engine modules address each other relative to the engine root and
  alias the shared XPath, DOM and XML input sources when embedded
- Accounted XPath strings, which only the embedded build defines, are
  copied through the engine's owned-memory meter
- TransformResult carries ExecutionUsage with every execution counter,
  equal to the amount its budget admitted, so a caller can share one
  allowance across several executions of an operation
- Transform::Xslt (xslt feature) parses the stylesheet markup of a
  <Transform>, compiles it, applies it to the octets of its input
  (node-set input through implicit inclusive C14N 1.0) and passes the
  serialized result on; terminal output is the digest input
- The stylesheet is the source text of the <Transform> content, as
  libxmlsec1 dumps it, so inherited namespace declarations are not
  copied into literal result elements
- Every execution in an operation shares one XSLT allowance from the
  new ResourcePolicy limits max_xslt_work, max_xslt_workspace_bytes,
  max_xslt_output_bytes and max_xslt_recursion_depth; parsing uses the
  existing XML document, node, depth and parse-work limits; accounted
  operations reserve the workspace from their memory account
- Stylesheets resolve no external resources; a DOCTYPE in binary input
  follows the operation's internal DTD policy
- Signing templates emit and digest XsltStylesheet markup unchanged
- Fix: an octet-consuming transform after Enveloped no longer reports
  a dependency cycle through the excluded SignatureValue; it now keeps
  only the dependencies visible to its implicit C14N, as explicit C14N
  does (also affected Enveloped -> Base64 references)
- Transform is #[non_exhaustive]

BREAKING CHANGE: Transform is #[non_exhaustive] and ResourcePolicy has four new fields.
- Resolve the decode_xml_bounded and compute_digest links
- Wrap bare specification URLs so rustdoc renders them as links;
  the embedded XSLT sources now share the xml-sec documentation build
- xml-sec-cli gains an xslt feature; check-transforms and
  list-transforms report "xslt" only when it is built
- The capability ledger classifies xmlSecHrefXslt as a feature-gated,
  policy-permitted capability backed by an executing evidence test
- Public-API tests cover node-set, Base64 and chained XSLT input,
  XSLT output reparsed by XPath, the operation-wide output allowance,
  work and workspace limits, policy denial, external resources,
  invalid stylesheets, DTD input, verification failures and scoped
  replay within the current query's memory account
- Reciprocal xmlsec1 1.3.13 tests sign and verify XSLT references in
  both directions
- CI runs tests and clippy with the xslt feature
- Document the transform, its limits and the feature
XSLT 1.0 section 7.1.1 makes an unbound prefix in exclude-result-prefixes
or extension-element-prefixes a static error; libxslt reports it as a
warning and skips only that prefix. Signatures produced by libxmlsec1
over such stylesheets (Merlin xmldsig-23 #notaries) could not be verified
under the strict reading.

- Add TransformPolicy::xslt_prefix_list_semantics with Specification
  (default) and Libxslt; the engine gains Compiler::unbound_prefix_lists
- Thread the setting through signing, verification and CipherReference
  transform execution
- The XmlSecCompatible profile and the native CLI select Libxslt for both
  directions; other profiles keep the specification reading, and layers
  cannot change a base's choice
- xml-sec-config parses and reports the setting
- Escape a rustdoc link in the XML encoding-name helper

Merlin xmldsig-23 now verifies #notaries under the compatible policy and
still refuses it under the default one.

📝 Walkthrough

The optional xslt feature connects the shared XSLT 1.0 engine to XMLDSig signing and verification. It adds transform parsing and execution, policy-controlled stylesheet semantics and resource limits, feature-aware capability reporting, and integration and interoperability coverage.

Changes: XMLDSig XSLT support

Layer / File(s) Summary
Feature and policy controls
Cargo.toml, src/hard_limits.rs, src/policy.rs, src/policy/profiles*, crates/xml-sec-config/*
The optional xslt feature and engine dependencies are declared. Resource policies add XSLT work, workspace, output, and recursion limits. Transform policies select specification or libxmlsec1 stylesheet semantics. Configuration parsing and policy composition include these settings.
Embedded engine and accounting
crates/xml-sec-xslt/*, src/xslt/*, src/lib.rs
The shared engine sources are compiled into xml-sec when the feature is enabled. Parsing, compilation, and execution expose usage reporting. Engine tests cover parser and compiler accounting, runtime budgets, resolver behavior, and serialization.
XMLDSig transform adapter
src/xmldsig/transforms*, src/xmldsig/types.rs
The feature adds XsltStylesheet, the XSLT transform URI, and Transform::Xslt. The adapter parses stylesheets, canonicalizes node-set input, executes with shared limits and no external resolver, and returns serialized output or typed errors.
Signing, verification, and capability wiring
src/xmldsig/{builder,sign,verify}.rs, src/xmlenc/cipher_reference.rs, tools/xmlsec1/*
Signing serializes and classifies XSLT transforms. Verification and CipherReference execution receive stylesheet semantics. The CLI reports XSLT only when the feature is enabled, and compatibility policies select libxmlsec1 semantics.
Integration, interoperability, and documentation
tests/*, compatibility/*, README.md, docs/*, .github/workflows/*
Tests cover transform chains, limits, external-resource refusal, DTD policy, stylesheet semantics, and interoperability. Documentation, compatibility records, and CI describe and exercise feature-gated behavior.

Base64 reference integration

Layer / File(s) Summary
Enveloped Base64 reference test
tests/base64_transform_integration.rs
A new test signs and verifies an enveloped reference using the Enveloped and Base64Decode transforms, then checks the verified digest input.

Explanation

Issue #247 is directly linked and remains open. The PR adds feature-gated Transform::Xslt support in xml-sec and retains the standalone engine source. The adapter supports octet input, inclusive C14N for node-set input, chained and terminal output, shared operation-wide work and output limits, and denied external resources. TransformPolicy.allowed_algorithms controls permission, and compatibility profiles use libxmlsec1 stylesheet semantics while secure profiles deny XSLT. Public API, typed-error, policy-limit, oracle, Merlin, Phaos, CLI, capability-ledger, and feature-matrix tests cover the stated coding requirements.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

The changes remain connected to issue #247. Resource-policy fields, configuration parsing, policy profiles, CLI registration, capability-ledger updates, documentation, and interoperability tests support XSLT integration and validation. The structured-crate upgrades, structured-ltv path check, and VerifiedSession::begin_digest provide the digest and certificate-path contracts required by the implementation. No unrelated product change is demonstrated.

construct the mapped execution error before exhausting the shared allowance, so
the error retains pre-failure totals while later transforms cannot reuse the
budget; keep allowance.admit for successful executions. Add a regression test
with two Manifest references where the first XSLT execution hits the work limit

Summary

Adds the optional xslt feature to execute XMLDSig XSLT transforms with policy limits and no external resource access.

  • XMLDSig references can run XSLT stylesheets.
  • XSLT follows the operation’s stylesheet rules and resource limits.
  • Octet-consuming transforms stop tracking excluded signature data.
  • Verified sessions provide incremental digests for XAdES.
  • XML documentation links use consistent Markdown formatting.

No new actionable issues were found. The five previously addressed concerns remain cleared: shared workspace accounting, failed-execution charges, namespace limits, inherited prefixes and extra stylesheet content.

- structured-asn1, structured-pkix, structured-cms and structured-xades
  0.7.0 share one incremental digest contract
- VerifiedSession::begin_digest starts a policy-checked digest of the
  operation's provider; SessionDigest charges each chunk before the
  provider absorbs it and checks the output width on finish. It replaces
  the one-shot digest_in
- xml-sec-xades implements the shared Digest contract over it, with the
  finished certificate digest held inline
- A failed execution now debits the work it admitted: the engine reports
  usage whether an execution succeeds or fails (Stylesheet::
  execute_reported), so a Manifest that keeps verifying after a failing
  reference cannot spend the operation-wide allowance again
- Compilation, the parsed input tree and execution share one workspace;
  the engine's bounded parser charges the tree it builds (ParseBudget::
  with_owned_bytes) and refuses growth beyond it before allocating
- Every parser pass over the stylesheet and the input is charged to the
  shared parse-work allowance (CompileBudget/ParseBudget::
  with_parse_work_bytes, reported for failed passes as well)
- Stylesheet and input text pass the operation's lexical XML preflight,
  so node, depth and namespace-binding limits apply to them
- Transform octets are checked against the XML document limit before
  decoding, on every binary-to-XML path
- Accounted output is copied while its own reservation covers it
- TransformPolicy::xslt_stylesheet_semantics replaces the prefix-list
  switch: Specification (default) binds prefixes the stylesheet refers to
  from the declarations in scope at its Transform, Libxmlsec1 compiles the
  Transform content alone and skips unbound prefix-list entries as
  libxmlsec1 and libxslt do; the compatible profile and the CLI select it

Regression tests cover each refusal through the shared transform budget
and fail on the previous adapter.

- A parsed stylesheet is serialized from the document tree, so entity and
  character references are already replaced and it compiles without the
  document's DTD (XML 1.0 section 4.4); each element keeps the namespace
  declarations written on it
- Specification semantics now gives the stylesheet element every
  namespace in scope at its Transform (Namespaces in XML section 6.1),
  which literal result elements copy (XSLT 1.0 section 7.1.1); this also
  binds prefixes used after an XPath axis or through a character
  reference. The Phaos corpus, signed the libxmlsec1 way, verifies under
  Libxmlsec1 semantics
- XSLT workspace refusals report what earlier stages hold plus the
  refused stage's amount, so the total exceeds the limit it names
- The engine parser charges any capacity the allocator grants beyond an
  exact reservation
- CI and the benchmark workflow install libxslt development files, and
  the xmlsec1 installer refuses an oracle built without the XSLT
  transform, which made the XSLT oracle tests fail on Linux

Regression tests: entity in a stylesheet, workspace totals, parsed-tree
serialization, Phaos under both semantics, installer refusal without XSLT.

Part of #247
- ExecutionEnvironment::with_work_ceiling bounds every kind of execution
  work together, on top of each kind's own limit; a charge that would
  cross it is refused with BudgetKind::AggregateWork before the work runs
- BudgetKind::is_execution_work names the kinds the ceiling covers

A caller whose own account admits less aggregate work than the per-kind
limits grant passes that remainder, so an execution cannot do work the
caller cannot pay for.

Part of #247
- structured-asn1, structured-pkix, structured-cms and structured-xades
  0.8.0; the long-term-validation types moved to structured-ltv 0.8.0
- xml-sec-xades checks certificate paths through
  structured_ltv::pki::check_path
When a reference is replayed inside a query, the stylesheet compilation,
the input parse and the execution ran to the policy's limits before the
query's work account was charged once afterwards. A query with almost no
work left could therefore make the engine do the whole policy allowance
before it was refused, and parser work was never charged to the query.

- each parser pass is offered the smaller of the operation's parse-work
  remainder and the query's remaining work, and what it did is charged to
  both; a refusal comes from whichever of the two set the limit
- the execution runs under a work ceiling equal to the query's remainder
  and is refused with the query's own work error when it would cross it
- structured-asn1 0.8.1 provides the remaining-work query

Regression test: a query with a hundred units left for execution now
stops the engine near that remainder instead of after the full run, and
one with too little for parsing is refused before execution starts.

- Line 305: Update parse_xslt_transform and ParsedStylesheet::from_transform to
reject transforms unless they contain exactly one element child and all text
nodes contain only XML whitespace; return the existing parse failure so parsing
reports UnsupportedTransform. Ensure from_parsed does not retain a missing
parsed stylesheet that could later fall back to raw source text.

- a <Transform> whose stylesheet has element or text siblings is refused
  when parsed (XMLDSig 1.1 section 6.6.5), instead of compiling the first
  element and dropping the rest
- under the specification semantics the nearest ancestor's
  xml:space="preserve" is carried onto the stylesheet element, so its
  whitespace-only text is kept (XSLT 1.0 section 3.4)
- the signature builder writes a parsed stylesheet with what it inherited
  in its original document and with references replaced, so the new
  signature has no unbound prefix or undefined entity
- inside a query, the input is decoded before the XSLT workspace is
  reserved, so the workspace takes what decoding leaves rather than
  starving it; the adapter's lexical passes are paid by the query before
  they run; a stylesheet serialized from its tree is written into the
  workspace and refused before its allocation would exceed it

Regression tests cover each case: sibling content is refused, inherited
xml:space keeps the whitespace, a parsed stylesheet signs in another
document, UTF-16 input decodes in a query no larger than the workspace,
an unpaid scan is refused before it runs, and serialization stops at the
workspace limit.

- the transform parameter must be an xsl:stylesheet or xsl:transform
  element (XMLDSig 1.1 section 6.6.5 names the XSLT namespace-qualified
  stylesheet element); a literal result element used as a simplified
  stylesheet is refused by XsltStylesheet::new and when parsing
- the signature builder checks each stylesheet against the document
  limit before copying it into the template, instead of after the whole
  template was written
- bounded stylesheet serialization refuses capacity an allocator grants
  beyond the limit, so what it holds never exceeds the workspace

Regression tests: a simplified stylesheet is refused in both places, and
an oversized stylesheet is refused with its own size rather than the
template's. The allocator over-grant case has no test: the standard
allocator grants exactly what try_reserve_exact requests.
