## What it is
A Ruby/Sinatra web tool for embedding XXE/XML exploits into document file formats like DOCX, XLSX, ODT, SVG, and XML. It is used to test XXE vulnerabilities in file upload functionality.

## Use cases
- test xxe vulnerabilities in docx file uploads
- embed xml payloads into office documents
- check if file upload parser is vulnerable to xxe
- generate malicious svg files with xxe payloads
- security testing of oxml document parsing

## When to choose
- you need to test XXE in file upload endpoints
- you want a web UI for crafting malicious OXML documents

## When to avoid
- you need a general-purpose XML parser
- you want a fully supported tool with a license and active maintenance

## Facets
- artifact type: service
- maturity: maintenance
- function: security, penetration-testing, http-server
- domain: security, penetration-testing, developer-tools
- platform: self-hosted, ruby
- tags: xxe, xml-exploitation, file-upload-testing, security-testing, sinatra, docker, web-server
