CVE-2016-1000229
GHSA-h8wp-wgcq-qhrf |
| Summary | XSS in key names Swagger is a standardized library for documenting API endpoints and their parameters. Swagger uses a JSON document to organize API endpoint parameter data. Swagger-ui contains a cross site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the key names for the following object path in the JSON document: ``` .definitions.<USER_DEFINED>.properties.<INJECTABLE_KEY_NAME> ``` Supplying a key name with script tags causes arbitrary code execution. In addition it is possible to load the arbitrary JSON files remotely via the `URL` query-string parameter. This advisory is being disclosed before a public patched release is available because of a public Github issue documenting the vulnerability. |
