Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-97394/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-97394/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-97394","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-97394/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-97394","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-p6wj-qrr4-pgh5","MINI-2xg6-xx4c-8mh4","MINI-35gp-vm5m-g56h","MINI-3j9p-g58p-f2rp","MINI-58mq-64mv-hxp5","MINI-78xv-jf98-jfgc","MINI-7pf7-gr4w-j222","MINI-9p79-vq3c-8q7v","MINI-c8f6-pcrg-w962","MINI-p5rg-gfh3-9gr5","MINI-rx9f-fx48-rcgm","MINI-x3gc-28v7-vrcq","MINI-x76x-hccw-mrcc","UBUNTU-CVE-2026-97394"],"analysis":null,"analysis_generated_by":null,"assigner":"GitHub_M","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":7.5,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-476","name":"NULL Pointer Dereference"},{"id":"CWE-248","name":"Uncaught Exception"}],"description":"kin-openapi is a Go project for handling OpenAPI files. From 0.136.0 until 0.143.0, openapi3filter accepts OpenAPI 3.1 array schemas without an items keyword and then dereferences the nil Schema.Items value while decoding application/x-www-form-urlencoded or multipart/form-data request bodies, response headers, and other array parameter surfaces. A remote unauthenticated client can reach an affected operation with a nonempty request or matching response and deterministically trigger a nil-pointer panic during ValidateRequest or ValidateResponse. OpenAPI 3.0 documents are not affected because document validation rejects arrays without items, and JSON request bodies use a different decoder path.
