FKIE_CVE-2017-1000207

Vulnerability from fkie_nvd - Published: 2017-11-27 15:29 - Updated: 2026-06-17 00:58
Severity
8.8 (High) - CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H
Summary
A vulnerability in Swagger-Parser's version <= 1.0.30 and Swagger codegen version <= 2.2.2 yaml parsing functionality results in arbitrary code being executed when a maliciously crafted yaml Open-API specification is parsed. This in particular, affects the 'generate' and 'validate' command in swagger-codegen (<= 2.2.2) and can lead to arbitrary code being executed when these commands are used on a well-crafted yaml specification.
