QID 982597: Java (maven) Security Update for org.openapitools:openapi-generator-online (GHSA-23x4-m842-fmwf)

Security update has been released for org.openapitools:openapi-generator-online to fix the vulnerability.

Note: The preceding description block is extracted directly from the security advisory. Using automation, we have attempted to clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

On Unix like systems, the system's temporary directory is shared between all users on that system. A collocated user can observe the process of creating a temporary sub directory in the shared temporary directory and race to complete the creation of the temporary subdirectory.

This vulnerability is local privilege escalation because the contents of the outputFolder can be appended to by an attacker. As such, code written to this directory, when executed can be attacker controlled.

openapi-generator-online creates insecure temporary folders with `File.createTempFile` during the code generation process. The insecure temporary folders store the auto-generated files which can be read and appended to by any users on the system.

  • CVSS V3 rated as High - 7 severity.
  • CVSS V2 rated as Medium - 4.4 severity.
  • Solution
    The issue has been patched by changing the underlying logic to use `Files.createTempFile` and has been released in the v5.1.0 stable version.

    This vulnerability has the same root cause as CVE-2021-21363 from the `swagger-api/swagger-codegen` project as this project and that one both share the same original source tree.
