SCA: security update for github.com/getkin/kin-openapi (GHSA-rj39-cv6w-8wv7)

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 474685

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

- kin-openapi is a Go project for handling OpenAPI files. Prior to 0.148.0, the OpenAPI 3.1 validation path
passes YAML NaN and infinity numeric values to santhosh-tekuri/jsonschema v6.0.2 without applying kin-
openapi's existing finite-number guards. A remote unauthenticated client can send an application/yaml or
application/x-yaml request body containing .nan, .inf, or -.inf to an operation with a numeric constraint,
causing the dependency to create and dereference a nil big.Rat during ValidateRequest. Standard net/http
servers recover the panic per connection, while other hosts or application goroutines may terminate the
process. This issue is fixed in version 0.148.0. (CVE-2026-100352)

Solution

Update the github.com/getkin/kin-openapi library and its related packages to version 0.148.0 or later.
