Click hijacking via remote OpenAPI definition loading
Published Mar 11, 2022 · Updated Aug 4, 2024
Click hijacking in swagger-ui-dist before 4.1.3 allows remote attackers to manipulate victim interactions through a crafted URL. Swagger UI parses the URL query string and lets its url parameter load an attacker-controlled OpenAPI definition into a trusted self-hosted interface. Exploitation requires a victim to follow the link and interact with the rendered interface; the documented consequence is disclosure of entered sensitive data, not non-interactive code execution.
