CVE-2024-35219
Description
A flaw was found in OpenAPI generator, where it allows the generation of API client libraries, for example, SDK generation, server stubs, documentation, and configuration, automatically given an OpenAPI Spec. This flaw allows an attacker to cause a path traversal vulnerability to read and delete files and folders from an arbitrary, writable directory, as anyone can set the output folder when submitting the request via the outputFolder option.
Statement
This vulnerability in OpenAPI Generator is classified as Moderate severity due to its potential to be exploited for unauthorized file system access, allowing attackers to perform read and delete operations on files and folders within any writable directory. The impact is mitigated by the requirement that attackers must have the ability to submit requests to the generator, limiting the exploit's feasibility to environments where access controls are already compromised or insufficiently stringent.
Mitigation
Mitigation for this issue is either not available or the currently available options don't meet the Red Hat Product Security criteria comprising ease of use and deployment, applicability to widespread installation base or stability.
Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) Score Details
Info alert:Important note
CVSS scores for open source components depend on vendor-specific factors (e.g. version or build chain). Therefore, Red Hat's score and impact rating can be different from NVD and other vendors. Red Hat remains the authoritative CVE Naming Authority (CNA) source for its products and services (see Red Hat classifications).
The following CVSS metrics and score provided are preliminary and subject to review.
