QID 570093: Sibblings Not Allowed Along with Reference

OpenAPI 3.0 allows for reuse of definitions across same server or other servers. In order to reference a definition that is defined in another location keyword "$ref" should be used. When using $ref there should be no other definitions on that node. Based on analysis of the swagger file it seems like there is another definition on the same node along with your $ref

Having multiple definition along with your $ref results in an error since it is not supported by the swagger specification.

  • CVSS V3 rated as Medium - 5.3 severity.
  • CVSS V2 rated as Medium - 3.6 severity.
  • Solution
    Review your swagger file, ensure there is only one $ref defined on the node. For example, your definition should be :

    paths: /users: get: summary: "Get all users" responses: '200': description: "A list of all the users." content: application/json: schema: $ref: '#/shared-components/schemas/UsersList' components: schemas: UsersList: description: "A list object contains a list of users" properties:
