Kiota: Code Generation Literal Injection in Kiota Ruby Generator
CVE-2026-59861
Description
Kiota is an OpenAPI based HTTP Client code generator. Prior to 1.32.0, Kiota's Ruby generator embedded OpenAPI default fields, property names, and other schema-derived strings through CodeMethodWriter.cs and SanitizeForQuotedLiteral() in Writers/StringExtensions.cs into Ruby double-quoted literals without escaping #, allowing attacker-controlled #{expr}, #$var, or #@var interpolation markers to inject arbitrary Ruby code into generated model classes. This issue is fixed in version 1.32.0.
