CVE-2026-59862
Last modified
CVE-2026-59862 is a high-severity vulnerability rated 7.5/10 on the CVSS scale. Kiota is an OpenAPI based HTTP Client code generator. Prior to 1.32.0, Kiota's Python generator let attacker-controlled enum value descriptions from x-ms-enum.values[].description flow through KiotaBuilder.SetEnumOptions into Documentation.DescriptionTemplate and PythonConventionService.RemoveInvalidDescriptionCharacters without newline sanitization, allowing generated inline comments to split and execute attacker-controlled Python code at module scope when generated modules were imported. EPSS estimates a 1.02% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
