Description
oasdiff is a command-line and Go package that compares and detects breaking changes in OpenAPI specs. From version 1.13.2 through version 1.18.0, oasdiff did not enforce --allow-external-refs=false (library: openapi3.Loader.IsExternalRefsAllowed = false) when loading a spec from a git revision (the rev:path form, e.g. main:openapi.yaml). External $refs were resolved on that load path even when external refs were explicitly disabled, so the mitigation silently did not apply there. This issue has been patched in version 1.18.1.
