CyberRota Analysis

AI-Generated

Orval versions prior to 8.21.0 are vulnerable due to improper handling of query parameter defaults, allowing attacker-controlled JavaScript to be executed when the generated zod schema module is imported. This critical vulnerability can lead to code execution in various environments, including development, CI, and production. Organizations using Orval for JavaScript client generation should prioritize upgrading to version 8.21.0 to mitigate this risk.

Original NVD Description

Orval generates type-safe JavaScript clients in TypeScript from OpenAPI v3 and Swagger v2 specifications. Prior to 8.21.0, a ${...} expression or backtick in a query parameter default is emitted into a module-level template literal emitted by zod schema generation without safe encoding. This permits attacker-controlled JavaScript to be evaluated when the generated zod schema module is imported, resulting in code execution in the developer, CI, test, or application environment. The affected code is packages/zod/src/index.ts function formatDefaultValue. This issue is fixed in version 8.21.0.
