Last modified

CVE-2026-49451 is a high-severity vulnerability rated 7.5/10 on the CVSS scale. The OpenAPI.NET SDK contains a useful object model for OpenAPI documents in .NET along with common serializers to extract raw OpenAPI JSON and YAML documents from the model. From 2.0.0-preview11 until 2.7.5 and 3.5.4, a small OpenAPI document containing a circular schema reference can cause process termination through stack overflow in Microsoft.OpenApi. EPSS estimates a 0.69% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
