CVE-2026-59860
Kiota is an OpenAPI based HTTP Client code generator. Prior to 1.32.3, Kiota is affected by a code-generation injection vulnerability in the C# XML documentation-comment sink (the description, externalDocs label, and externalDocs link fields emitted as /// … comments). When text from an OpenAPI description is written into single-line XML doc comments without stripping newline and Unicode line-terminator characters, an attacker can break out of the /// comment line and inject additional code into generated C# clients. This issue is fixed in version 1.32.3.
What this means
- Exposure
- Exploitable remotely over the network and without authentication — but only if a user opens booby-trapped content.
- Impact
- An attacker can read sensitive data, modify or destroy data and take the service offline.
- Weakness
- The application interprets attacker-supplied code, which then runs with its privileges.
- Likelihood
- Its EPSS score puts short-term exploitation in a middle band: neither negligible nor imminent.
