Attack profile from CVSS 3.1 · CNA. Fix status from CNA. Impact type from CWE-94.
Summary
dataclasses-avroschema from 0.38.0 before 0.70.6 inserts schema-controlled field defaults into quoted literals in generated Python code without escaping them (CWE-94). A remote attacker who supplies a crafted default can inject statements that run when the generated module is imported, and user interaction is required.

Description from the CNA
dataclasses-avroschema generates Avro schemas from Python dataclasses, Pydantic models, and Faust Records and generates Python code from Avro schemas. From version 0.38.0 through 0.70.5, FieldRepresentation.get_field_default inserts schema-controlled string, UUID, bytes, and fixed field defaults into quoted literals in generated Python source without escaping them. A crafted default can terminate the literal and inject statements into the generated module, which execute when the module is imported. Version 0.70.6 fixes the vulnerability by escaping schema values rendered into generated string literals.
