No VulnCrest analysis published for this CVE yet. Below is the original CNA/NVD description, unmodified.
Description
fastapi-code-generator creates FastAPI applications from OpenAPI files. Prior to 0.8.1, the generator inserts an additional response status-code key into the generated responses={...} route-decorator dictionary as a single-quoted Python string without escaping embedded quotes. A multi-response OpenAPI operation with an attacker-controlled or attacker-influenced second non-primary response key can close the dictionary-key literal and inject a valid Python expression. Syntax-breaking input only causes generation to fail, but syntactically valid generated code executes with the application's or CI process's privileges when the generated module is imported and its decorator arguments are evaluated. This additional-response-key sink is distinct from the project's separate route-path and operation-summary sinks. This issue is fixed in version 0.8.1.
