orval MCP client is vulnerable to a code injection attack.
Impact
The MCP server generation logic relies on string manipulation that incorporates the summary field from the OpenAPI specification without proper validation or escaping. This allows an attacker to "break out" of the string literal and inject arbitrary code.
Here is an example OpenAPI with the exploit
openapi: 3.0.4
info:
title: Swagger Petstore - OpenAPI 3.0
description: |-
This is a sample Pet Store Server based on the OpenAPI 3.0 specification. You can find out more about
Swagger at [https://swagger.io](https://swagger.io). In the third iteration of the pet store, we've switched to the design first approach!
You can now help us improve the API whether it's by making changes to the definition itself or to the code.
That way, with time, we can improve the API in general, and expose some of the new features in OAS3.
