CVE-2026-54662: CWE-74: Improper Neutralization of Special Elements in Output Used by a Downstream Component ('Injection') in acacode swagger-typescript-api
swagger-typescript-api generates API clients for Fetch or Axios from OpenAPI specifications. Prior to 13.12.2, src/code-gen-process.ts createApiConfig copies servers[0].url into apiConfig.baseUrl, and templates/base/http-clients/fetch-http-client.ejs interpolates apiConfig.baseUrl into the generated HttpClient baseUrl field without escaping, allowing an attacker-controlled OpenAPI spec to inject TypeScript static field code that executes when the generated fetch client module is imported. This issue is fixed in version 13.12.2.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
The swagger-typescript-api package versions before 13.12.2 contain an injection vulnerability (CWE-74) due to improper neutralization of special elements in output used by a downstream component. Specifically, the createApiConfig function copies the first server URL from the OpenAPI spec into apiConfig.baseUrl without escaping, and this value is directly interpolated into the generated TypeScript HttpClient baseUrl field. An attacker controlling the OpenAPI specification can inject arbitrary TypeScript static field code that executes upon module import. This vulnerability is addressed in version 13.12.2.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation allows an attacker who can supply a malicious OpenAPI specification to inject and execute arbitrary TypeScript code in the generated client module. This can lead to complete compromise of the client environment, including confidentiality, integrity, and availability impacts as indicated by the CVSS score of 8.3 (high severity).
Mitigation Recommendations
Upgrade to swagger-typescript-api version 13.12.2 or later, where this injection vulnerability is fixed. No other official remediation or temporary fixes are documented. Users should avoid generating clients from untrusted OpenAPI specifications until patched.
