Summary
dataclasses-avroschema from 0.38.0 before 0.70.6 is affected. EnumRepresentation.render_symbols places schema-controlled enum symbols between double quotes without escaping them, which is a code injection flaw (CWE-94). When generator classes are used directly, an attacker who controls an enum symbol can inject Python code that runs 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, EnumRepresentation.render_symbols concatenates each schema-controlled enum symbol between double quotes in a generated enum assignment. When generator classes are used directly, a quote can terminate the string literal and inject arbitrary Python code into the enum class body, which executes when the generated module is imported. Version 0.70.6 fixes the vulnerability by escaping enum symbol values before rendering them.
