Summary

Kiota before versions 1.29.1 and 1.32.5 honored a poisoned workspace.json configuration without validating output paths, allowing generated files to be written outside the workspace root on a developer or CI host.

Risk Assessment

A malicious repository or pull request can lead to overwriting files outside the project, potentially resulting in malicious code execution or system damage.

Recommendation

Update Kiota to version 1.29.1 or 1.32.5 to get output path validation.

Original NVD description (English source)

Kiota is an OpenAPI based HTTP Client code generator. Prior to 1.29.1 and 1.32.5, Kiota honored a poisoned .kiota/workspace.json workspace configuration without validating per-client or per-plugin outputPath values during kiota client generate and kiota plugin generate, allowing a malicious repository or pull request to use absolute paths, rooted POSIX / paths, UNC \\ or // paths, Windows drive X:\ paths, or .. traversal segments to write generated client files outside the workspace root on a developer or CI host. This issue is fixed in version 1.29.1 and 1.32.5.
