CVE-2016-1000233
Published:May 14, 2026
Updated:May 14, 2026
Affected versions of "swagger-ui" are vulnerable to cross-site scripting. This vulnerability exists because "swagger-ui" automatically executes external Javascript that is loaded in via the "url" query string parameter when a "Content-Type: application/javascript" header is included. An attacker can create a server that replies with a malicious script and the proper content-type, and then craft a "swagger-ui" URL that includes the location to their server/script in the "url" query string parameter. When viewed, such a link would execute the attacker's malicious script. Recommendation Update to 2.2.1 or later.
Affected Packages
swagger-ui (CDN_JS):
Affected version(s) >=1.0.12 <2.2.1
