GMS-2019-143: Reverse Tabnapping in swagger-ui

June 20, 2019 (updated August 16, 2021)

Versions of swagger-ui prior to 3.18.0 are vulnerable to Reverse Tabnapping. The package uses target='_blank' in anchor tags, allowing attackers to access window.opener for the original page. This is commonly used for phishing attacks.

Recommendation

Upgrade to version 3.18.0 or later.
