2663241 - The length of entity "[xml]" is "1,xxx" that exceeds the "1,000" limit set by "FEATURE_SECURE_PROCESSING"

You have a SOAP sender scenario and observe the error "Could not parse XMBMessage due to Can't parse the document" in Message Monitor. In the corresponding defaultTrace you find the error details as below:

com.sap.aii.af.sdk.xi.mo.MalformedMessageException: Can't parse the document; nested exception caused by: com.sap.aii.af.sdk.xi.util.XMLScanException: Can't parse the document; nested exception caused by: org.xml.sax.SAXParseException; lineNumber: 2; columnNumber: 1440; JAXP00010005: The length of entity "[xml]" is "1,260" that exceeds the "1,000" limit set by "FEATURE_SECURE_PROCESSING"

When you check the payload, you notice that there is a long namespace in SOAP header, for example:

xmlns: CorID='B36D35970AB2F61824FB6A8060B5EACB,1:1,0,1,.....ZBODA2RDE3RDBFNg=='

which exceeds the length limit and causes this exception. However, you do not know why such element is added and how to resolve this error.
