AI-suggested

A fix is available in fastapi-code-generator version 0.8.1 which properly escapes the path string for Python string literals before emitting the @app.get decorator. Users should upgrade to version 0.8.1 or later. The suggested fix includes escaping single quotes, backslashes, and newlines via repr and validating path characters. No other mitigations are indicated by the vendor advisory.

Description

fastapi-code-generator versions prior to 0.8.1 contain a critical vulnerability where the OpenAPI path is injected into the generated FastAPI route decorator without proper escaping. This allows an attacker to craft a path containing a single quote that breaks out of the string literal and injects arbitrary Python code executed at import time, leading to remote code execution without any request needed.
