GMS-2016-45: XSS in key names

July 21, 2016

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.
