CVE-2026-97394
waiting for further signalsZero needs more public information before it can validate it.GHSA-p6wj-qrr4-pgh5 ↗EUVD-2026-102143 ↗
description
Versions before 0.143.0 can panic when openapi3filter processes certain OpenAPI 3.1 array schemas that omit an item definition. An unauthenticated client can cause denial of service when an application exposes an affected request or response validation path and does not contain the resulting panic.
mitigation
Upgrade github.com/getkin/kin-openapi to version 0.143.0 or later. Until then, correct or reject OpenAPI 3.1 array schemas without items and use panic recovery around request handling.
fixed in 0.143.0
outcome
Contextual: an exploit technique exists, but no deterministic check could cover this one.
