[jira] [Created] (CAMEL-24110) camel-xslt-saxon: saxonReaderProperties null-guard is always true - stylesheets parsed by raw unhardened SAXParser, URIResolvers returning DOMSource broken

Federico Mariani created CAMEL-24110:
----------------------------------------

             Summary: camel-xslt-saxon: saxonReaderProperties null-guard is always true - stylesheets parsed by raw unhardened SAXParser, URIResolvers returning DOMSource broken
                 Key: CAMEL-24110
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CAMEL-24110
             Project: Camel
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: camel-xslt
    Affects Versions: 4.21.0
            Reporter: Federico Mariani
         Attachments: XsltSaxonUriResolverDomSourceTest.java

h3. Problem
{{XsltSaxonEndpoint}} initializes {{saxonReaderProperties}} to an *empty HashMap*, so the guards {{if (this.saxonReaderProperties != null)}} in {{loadResource()}} and {{createBuilderForCustomStylesheet()}} - clearly meant as "only when the user configured reader properties" - are always true. Every stylesheet load is unconditionally re-wrapped by {{createReaderForSource()}}. Consequences:

# A custom {{URIResolver}} returning a {{DOMSource}} (or a {{SAXSource}} without reader) gets {{SAXSource.sourceToInputSource(source)}} -> {{null}}, producing a {{SAXSource}} with a null {{InputSource}} and the endpoint fails to start with {{SaxonApiException: I/O error reported by XML parser processing null}}. The identical route on plain {{xslt:}} works.
# Every stylesheet (and every {{allowTemplateFromHeader}} template) is parsed through {{SAXParserFactory.newInstance()}} with zero features configured - ignoring the hardened parser setup used everywhere else in Camel.
# In {{loadResource()}} the wrap happens *before* the {{source == null}} check, and {{createReaderForSource()}} returns a non-null wrapper (or null on parser-creation failure), so the intended {{IOException("Cannot load schema resource ...")}} can never fire for a null resolver result.

h3. Reproducer
Attached {{XsltSaxonUriResolverDomSourceTest.java}} - a registry-bound {{URIResolver}} returning a {{DOMSource}}; the xslt-saxon route fails at context startup on current main.

h3. Fix direction
Guard with {{!saxonReaderProperties.isEmpty()}}, keep the null-source check first, and harden the created XMLReader (secure processing, external entities off) since it also parses header-supplied templates when {{allowTemplateFromHeader=true}}.
----
_This issue was researched and filed by Claude Code on behalf of [~fmariani] (GitHub: Croway), as part of a code review of camel-xslt and camel-xslt-saxon. The attached JUnit reproducer fails deterministically on current main (4.22.0-SNAPSHOT); place it in {{components/camel-xslt-saxon/src/test/java/org/apache/camel/component/xslt/saxon/}}._
