Affected packages

• npm swagger-ui: < 3.18.0 → fixed in 3.18.0

Description

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.
