Class XML :: XPathConstruction :: Range

A data-flow node that constructs an XPath expression.

Often, it is worthy of an alert if an XPath expression is constructed such that executing it would be a security risk.

Extend this class to model new APIs. If you want to refine existing API models, extend XPathConstruction instead.

getName	Gets the name of this XPath expression construction, typically the name of an executing method. This is used for nice alert messages and should include the module if possible.
getXPath	Gets the argument that specifies the XPath expressions to be constructed.

asCfgNode	Gets the control-flow node corresponding to this node, if any.	from Node
asExpr	Gets the expression corresponding to this node, if any.	from Node
asVar	Gets the ESSA variable corresponding to this node, if any.	from Node
getALocalSource	Gets a local source node from which data may flow to this node in zero or more local data-flow steps.	from Node
getEnclosingCallable	Gets the enclosing callable of this node.	from Node
getLocation	Gets the location of this node	from Node
getScope	Gets the scope of this node.	from Node
hasLocationInfo	Holds if this element is at the specified location. The location spans column `startcolumn` of line `startline` to column `endcolumn` of line `endline` in file `filepath`. For more information, see Locations.	from Node
