Script execution via unescaped URL reflection
Published Feb 4, 2022 · Updated Feb 10, 2025
Reflected XSS in Embed Swagger 1.0.0 and earlier allows remote attackers to execute script in a visitor's browser via a crafted URL. swagger-iframe.php validates the url parameter only as a URL, then echoes it unencoded into a quoted JavaScript value. Execution requires a visitor to open the attacker-supplied link and can read or alter data available to that browser session.
