Word Can't Open XML Files Generated with Nmap 6.47

[Colin Bruce <Colin.Bruce () ctalk co uk>]

Hi,

 

The latest version of Nmap produces this as the first three lines of any XML
output:

 

<?xml version="1.0"?>

<!DOCTYPE nmaprun>

<?xml-stylesheet href="https://svn.nmap.org/nmap/docs/nmap.xsl";
type="text/xsl"?>

 

Word 2013 is unable to open this file; complaining that "DTD is prohibited".
If the second line "<!DOCTYPE nmaprun>" is removed then

Word can happily read the file. Version 6.40 didn't include this line. I
haven't tried versions in between so I don't know when this change took
place. I know little or nothing about XML so I have no idea what the line
does or what the error is or even whether there is something wrong with the
latest version of Nmap or yet more things wrong with Word.

 

Best wishes....
