Critical CVE-2016-1000226 GHSA-7f59-x49p-v8mq

Cross-Site Scripting in swagger-ui

Published Sep 1, 2020 · Updated Nov 8, 2023 · Assigned by GHSA

Description

Affected versions of `swagger-ui` are vulnerable to cross-site scripting in both the `consumes` and `produces` parameters of the swagger JSON document for a given API.

Additionally, `swagger-ui` allows users to load arbitrary swagger JSON documents via the query string parameter `url`, allowing an attacker to exploit this attack against any user that the attacker can convince to visit a crafted link.

## Proof of Concept

```

## Recommendation

Update to version 2.2.1 or later.

Affected packages
