Summary

Kiota before versions 1.29.1 and 1.32.5 displayed dependency install commands from an OpenAPI description as recommended, allowing command injection when the suggested command was run manually or via the VS Code extension.

Risk Assessment

An attacker can take over a developer's machine if the malicious install command is executed, potentially leading to full system compromise.

Recommendation

Update Kiota to version 1.29.1 or 1.32.5 to mitigate the command injection vulnerability.

Original NVD description (English source)

Kiota is an OpenAPI based HTTP Client code generator. Prior to 1.29.1 and 1.32.5, `kiota info` read x-ms-kiota-info.languagesInformation.<language>.dependencyInstallCommand plus dependency name and version values from an OpenAPI description and presented the spec-supplied command as Kiota's recommended install command, allowing an attacker-controlled or compromised description to cause command injection when the suggested command was run manually or through the Kiota VS Code extension's kiota info --json dependency-install flow. This issue is fixed in version 1.29.1 and 1.32.5.
