CVE-2026-59866

Summary

Kiota is an OpenAPI based HTTP Client code generator. Prior to 1.29.1 and 1.32.5, Kiota emitted x-ms-kiota-info clientClassName and clientNamespaceName values without identifier or path sanitization as both generated client class or namespace names and generated output path components when kiota generate ran without -c/–class-name, allowing an attacker-controlled or compromised OpenAPI description to write generated source outside the -o output directory and inject arbitrary text into generated class or namespace declarations. This issue is fixed in version 1.29.1 and 1.32.5 by GenerationConfiguration.SanitizeClientClassName and SanitizeClientNamespaceName.
