}

```

Click here to show extra information the analyzer produced.

```
The following graphviz dot graph describes paths through the callgraph that could lead to a function which writes a pointer argument:
digraph G {
"(walkSchema, 1)" -> {}
}

No path was found through the callgraph that could lead to a function which passes a pointer to third-party code.

Research direction

Read cnat/cnat-operator/vendor/k8s.io/kube-openapi/pkg/aggregator/aggregator.go around lines 82-85 and inspect walkSchema. Determine whether passing &v can retain the range variable, then classify the finding as Bug, Mitigated, or Desirable Behavior; completion means leaving the appropriate reaction on the issue.
