當 processContents 屬性設為 lax 或 skip 時，不會對通配符元素和屬性執行輸入驗證。
不強制執行嚴格輸入驗證的架構，會允許任意元素或屬性通過驗證。這為攻擊者將惡意文檔侵入系統打開了通道。
示例：假設您使用以下兩種架構進行驗證。
架構 1：
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xs:schema xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" >
<xs:element name="cart" >
<xs:complexType>
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element name="itemID" maxOccurs="1" />
<xs:any namespace="http://itemInfo" processContents="lax" minOccurs="1" maxOccurs="5"/>
</xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>
</xs:element>
</xs:schema>
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsd:schema targetNamespace="http://itemInfo" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" >
<xsd:element name="name" type="xsd:string"/>
<xsd:element name="description" type="xsd:string"/>
</xsd:schema>
http://itemInfo 命名空間中的任意標簽通過其驗證，因此也允許下列 XML 通過驗證。
<?xml version=\"1.0\" ?>
<cart xmlns:itemInfo="http://itemInfo">
<itemID>123</itemID>
<itemInfo:name>Shoes</itemInfo:name>
<itemInfo:description>Black Shoes</itemInfo:description>
<itemInfo:price>1.00</itemInfo:price>
</cart>
itemInfo:price 標簽，該標簽未在架構 2 中定義。因此，它可能會誘騙此 XML 文檔用戶將 Shoes 的價格設為 1 美元。
