CVE-2026-63470 Details
Description
fastapi-code-generator creates FastAPI applications from OpenAPI files. Prior to 0.8.1, the generator inserts Operation.summary into a generated route-handler docstring as a triple-double-quoted string without escaping embedded triple quotes. An attacker-controlled or attacker-influenced operation summary can close the docstring and inject a valid Python expression statement into the handler body. Syntax-breaking input only causes generation to fail, but syntactically valid generated code executes with the server process's privileges when the affected route handler is called. This call-time route-handler docstring sink is distinct from the project's separate import-time route-path and additional-response-key sinks. This issue is fixed in version 0.8.1.
A remote code execution vulnerability has been identified in fastapi-code-generator versions prior to 0.8.1. The issue arises because the generator inserts the operation summary into the route handler's docstring as a triple-double-quoted string without properly escaping any embedded triple quotes. This flaw allows an attacker to close the docstring and inject a valid Python expression that executes with the server process's privileges when the route handler is called. The vulnerability has been verified in version 0.8.0.
Users can upgrade to fastapi-code-generator version 0.8.1 or later, where this vulnerability has been fixed.
