CVE-2026-59865 PUBLISHED

Kiota: Command injection via x-ms-kiota-info dependencyInstallCommand surfaced by `kiota info`

Assigner: GitHub_M
Reserved: 07.07.2026 Published: 16.07.2026 Updated: 16.07.2026

Kiota is an OpenAPI based HTTP Client code generator. Prior to 1.32.5, kiota info read x-ms-kiota-info.languagesInformation.<language>.dependencyInstallCommand plus dependency name and version values from an OpenAPI description and presented the spec-supplied command as Kiota's recommended install command, allowing an attacker-controlled or compromised description to cause command injection when the suggested command was run manually or through the Kiota VS Code extension's kiota info --json dependency-install flow. This issue is fixed in version 1.32.5.
