DescriptionCVE.org

Kiota is an OpenAPI based HTTP Client code generator. Prior to 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 1.32.5.

AnalysisAI

Arbitrary file write via path traversal in Microsoft Kiota (OpenAPI HTTP client/plugin code generator) before 1.32.5 allows a malicious repository or pull request to place files outside the workspace root on a developer or CI host. The tool trusts the checked-in .kiota/workspace.json and honors attacker-controlled per-client and per-plugin outputPath values during 'kiota client generate' and 'kiota plugin generate' without validating them. No public exploit identified at time of analysis and the flaw is not in CISA KEV, but exploitation is realistic in CI/pull-request workflows since it only requires a developer to run generation against poisoned config.
