Research direction

Start with the RustSec advisory page linked in the issue and inspect how the project depends on xml-rs 0.8.4. Determine the intended resolution, including whether quick-xml is suitable, and consider the work done only when the unmaintained dependency is addressed and the project still builds and tests successfully.
