CVE-2019-17495: Injection Vulnerability

October 10, 2019 (updated October 16, 2019)

A Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) injection vulnerability in Swagger UI allows attackers to use the Relative Path Overwrite (RPO) technique to perform CSS-based input field value exfiltration, such as exfiltration of a CSRF token value. In other words, this product intentionally allows the embedding of untrusted JSON data from remote servers, but it was not previously known that <style>@import within the JSON data was a functional attack method.
