Summary

Orval generates type-safe JavaScript clients in TypeScript from OpenAPI v3 and Swagger v2 specifications. From version 8.19.0 until 8.21.0, a double quote in a schema property name is emitted into the generated zod.object({...}) schema without safe encoding. This permits attacker-controlled JavaScript to be evaluated when the generated zod schema module is imported, resulting in code execution in the developer, CI, test, or application environment. The affected code is packages/zod/src/index.ts and zod object-key generation. This issue is fixed in version 8.21.0.

Fencer Intel keeps one entry per vulnerability: the CVE id wins, then GHSA, and records that alias each other are merged, except that two CVEs always keep separate entries. The same data is available as JSON.

The maintainers of orval-labs/orval published their own advisory on GitHub. Reviewed sources take precedence over it.
