fix(openapi,swagger): skip null spec entries instead of panicking - #7990
A null entry in an OpenAPI/Swagger input spec (an empty list item, or a map key with no value) decodes to a nil pointer. Several of these were dereferenced unchecked, so -im openapi / -im swagger crashed with SIGSEGV.
openapi (generator.go): skip a nil *Server (null servers: item) and a nil *MediaType (null entry under requestBody.content).
swagger (swagger.go): the panics happen inside kin-openapi's openapi2conv.ToV3, which does not check for nil path items, parameters or responses. dropNullEntries removes those from the decoded document before conversion.
Null entries that kin-openapi already rejects with an error (e.g. a null openapi parameter, response or schema, or a swagger definition) are left alone, so their behavior doesn't change.
The PR also adds a go-fuzz harness for the OpenAPI parser (fuzz.go + fuzz_harness.go + testdata/gofuzz-corpus/), laid out like the existing harnesses so the weekly fuzz workflow picks it up.
Proof
Before/after CLI run (-dast with a path-fuzz template against a local listener) over 20 null-entry variants. Only the 8 panicking cases change. Every other case behaves exactly as on dev:

Tests:
TestFuzzOpenAPIParsingNullEntries, TestFuzzOpenAPIParsingSeedCorpus (openapi) and TestSwaggerParseNullEntries (swagger) panic on dev and pass with the fix. They also check that the remaining valid entries still produce requests.
TestFuzzOpenAPIParsingRejectsOversizeInput covers the harness size limit.
make build-fuzz GOFUZZ_PACKAGE=./pkg/input/formats/openapi builds, and a short go-fuzz run found no crashers. A native go test -fuzz run over both parsers for about 5 minutes also found nothing after the fix.
go test ./pkg/input/..., go vet, gofmt, and golangci-lint v2.15 (with and without -tags gofuzz) all pass.
All checks passed (lint, unit/integration/regression tests etc.) with my changes
I have added tests that prove my fix is effective or that my feature works
I have added necessary documentation (if appropriate)

OpenAPI request generation now skips null server and media-type entries and reports an error when no usable servers are available.
Swagger parsing now handles null paths, parameters, responses, and response headers without failing. Valid specifications can still produce requests when these entries are present.
Tests
Added coverage for OpenAPI fuzzing inputs, oversized documents, and null entries, along with Swagger specifications containing null entries.
A null value in an OpenAPI or Swagger document (an empty list item, or a
map key with no value) decodes to a nil pointer. Several of these were
dereferenced without a check, so loading such a spec with -im openapi or
-im swagger crashed nuclei with SIGSEGV.
openapi (generator.go):
- a null entry under `servers:` -> nil *Server
- a null media type under `content:` -> nil *MediaType
swagger (dereferenced inside kin-openapi's openapi2conv.ToV3):
- a null path item under `paths:` -> nil *PathItem
- a null item under path/operation `parameters:` or a null top-level
parameter -> nil *Parameter
- a null operation or top-level response -> nil *Response
Skip the nil entries in the generator, and drop them from the decoded
Swagger document before converting it. Other null entries are already
rejected by kin-openapi with an error and are left alone.
Also add a go-fuzz harness for the OpenAPI parser with a seed corpus, so
the weekly fuzz workflow picks it up, and regression tests that panic on
the pre-fix code.
OpenAPI request generation now skips nil server and media-type entries. Swagger parsing removes selected nil entries before conversion. An OpenAPI fuzz harness, seed corpus, and regression tests cover parser behavior and null-entry cases.
OpenAPI request generation skips nil servers and request-body media types. The fuzz harness rejects empty or oversized input and requires parsing to produce a request. Tests and seed documents cover the harness and null-entry cases.
Swagger nil-entry cleanup before conversion pkg/input/formats/swagger/swagger.go, pkg/input/formats/swagger/swagger_test.go
Swagger parsing removes nil paths, parameters, and responses before conversion to OpenAPI 3.0. Tests cover specs with null paths, parameters, and responses.
No merge-blocking behavior was identified. The mixed-entry tests can be strengthened.

Issue #7989 requires no panic for null OpenAPI and Swagger entries. GenerateRequestsFromSchema skips nil servers and nil media types, and returns the existing no-server error when no usable server remains. dropNullEntries removes nil Swagger path items, parameters, responses, and response headers before conversion. Regression tests verify successful parsing and request generation for remaining valid entries.

- Around line 54-55: Update GenerateRequestsFromSchema to detect when all

OpenAPIFormat.Parse propagates that error rather than returning a nil result.

…rvers
Address review feedback:
- swagger: a null entry under a response's `headers:` map is also
dereferenced by openapi2conv.ToV3Response, for both operation and
top-level responses. Drop those along with null responses.
- openapi: a `servers:` list containing only null entries now returns
the same "no servers found" error as an empty list, instead of
succeeding without generating any request.
fuzzOpenAPIParsing only records that the callback ran. The mixed fixture can pass if the callback receives a request with an empty body. The existing body test uses only valid-only fixtures.
