DescriptionCVE.org

Kiota is an OpenAPI based HTTP Client code generator. Prior to 1.32.5, kiota plugin add and kiota plugin generate (with -t APIPlugin) emitted attacker-controlled static_template.file values from x-ai-adaptive-card and x-ai-capabilities into generated Microsoft 365 Copilot and Teams plugin manifests without path validation, allowing ../, absolute, rooted, UNC, Windows drive, or URI paths in response_semantics.static_template.file to cause path traversal or out-of-package file inclusion when the generated plugin was deployed. This issue is fixed in version 1.32.5.

AnalysisAI

Path traversal in Microsoft Kiota before 1.32.5 lets an attacker-controlled OpenAPI description inject unvalidated static_template.file values (via the x-ai-adaptive-card and x-ai-capabilities extensions) into generated Microsoft 365 Copilot and Teams plugin manifests, so a developer who runs kiota plugin add or kiota plugin generate -t APIPlugin against a malicious spec produces a manifest that resolves files outside its package when deployed. Rated CVSS 4.0 9.3 (Critical) with high confidentiality/integrity/availability impact and no privileges required. …
