Short explanation
Prior to version 0.145.0, kin-openapi can experience a nil-pointer panic during the loading process when resolving a self-referential additionalProperties $ref structure.
Attackers can trigger a denial-of-service (DoS) condition by supplying maliciously crafted OpenAPI documents, disrupting application availability.
What should be done?
- Upgrade to version 0.145.0 or later
- Follow vendor advisories
- Validate input data

Show the technical text from the sources
kin-openapi is a Go project for handling OpenAPI files. Prior to 0.145.0, openapi3.Loader can dereference a nil SchemaRef.Value while resolving a self-referential additionalProperties JSON Reference such as a schema that points to its own additionalProperties member. Loading an attacker-controlled OpenAPI document through LoadFromData, LoadFromFile, or LoadFromURI reaches resolveComponent before document validation and can panic the loading process. Resolved additionalProperties schemas and ordinary recursive schemas do not take the vulnerable nil-value path. This issue is fixed in version 0.145.0.
