Overview
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to NULL Pointer Dereference due to improper handling of array schemas that omit the items keyword in request validation. An attacker can cause the application to panic and potentially crash by submitting crafted requests that trigger nil-pointer dereference in the affected decoding logic. This is only exploitable if the OpenAPI 3.1 specification used by the application declares an array without specifying the items keyword.
