SCA: security update for Microsoft.OpenApi.Kiota, Microsoft.OpenApi.Kiota.Builder (GHSA-4vv7-jj25-4gh6)

critical Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 445269

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

- Kiota is an OpenAPI based HTTP Client code generator. Prior to 1.32.5, Kiota emitted x-ms-kiota-info
clientClassName and clientNamespaceName values without identifier or path sanitization as both generated
client class or namespace names and generated output path components when `kiota generate` ran without
-c/--class-name, allowing an attacker-controlled or compromised OpenAPI description to write generated
source outside the -o output directory and inject arbitrary text into generated class or namespace
declarations. This issue is fixed in version 1.32.5 by GenerationConfiguration.SanitizeClientClassName and
SanitizeClientNamespaceName. (CVE-2026-59866)

Solution

Update the Microsoft.OpenApi.Kiota library and its related packages to version 1.32.5 or later.
