Technical details
A code injection vulnerability exists in swagger-typescript-api due to improper neutralization of special elements in OpenAPI path keys. The component 'src/schema-routes/schema-routes.ts' passes path keys through 'parseRouteName' to EJS templates without escaping JavaScript template literal interpolation characters. An attacker providing a malicious OpenAPI specification can include '${...}' sequences in path names that remain unescaped in the generated output. When a developer integrates the generated client and calls the affected method, the injected JavaScript executes with the privileges of the application process. This issue is fixed in version 13.12.2.
