Click here to show the 3 line(s) of Go which triggered the analyzer.

```go
for _, v := range schema.AllOf {
s.walkSchema(&v)
}

```

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

Start in staging/src/k8s.io/apiserver/pkg/server/openapi/openapi_aggregator.go at the loop around lines 82-84 and inspect walkSchema. Determine whether passing &v can retain the range variable beyond the iteration, then classify the finding as a bug, mitigated, or desirable behavior based on that call path.
