GHSA-22q9-hqm5-mhmc

Cross-Site Scripting in swagger-ui

Quick fix

GHSA-22q9-hqm5-mhmc — swagger-ui: upgrade to the fixed version with the command below.

npm install swagger-ui@2.2.1

Details

Versions of `swagger-ui` prior to 2.2.1 are vulnerable to Cross-Site Scripting (XSS). The package fails to encode output in GET requests. The request is meant to respond with Content-Type `application/json` which does not trigger the vulnerability but if the web server changes the header to `text/html` it may allow attackers to execute arbitrary JavaScript.

## Recommendation

Upgrade to version 2.2.1 or later.
