openapi-generator up to v6.4.0 was discovered to contain a Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) via the component /api/gen/clients/{language}. This vulnerability allows attackers to access network resources and sensitive information via a crafted API request.
Security readout for executives and security teams
CVE-2023-27162 is an SSRF issue in openapi-generator up to v6.4.0. If its generator API is exposed, an unauthenticated attacker could make it request internal network resources and sensitive information. The score is critical because exploitation is network-reachable, low complexity, and requires no login. Highest concern is internet-accessible or broadly reachable openapi-generator service deployments at versions up to v6.4.0, especially where the generator API can reach internal services, metadata endpoints, or sensitive network locations. Treat as urgent if openapi-generator APIs are exposed or reachable from untrusted networks. The business risk is internal data exposure through a development service that may have broader network visibility than intended. Mitigation focus: Identify all exposed openapi-generator services and versions.; Restrict access to generator APIs, especially /api/gen/clients/{language}.; Segment generator services from internal and sensitive network resources..

CWE-918: Information exposure and cloud metadata lookup
Information exposure and SSRF weaknesses can make discovery, cloud metadata, and credential material review relevant. Open the exact CWE lookup page first, then review the ATT&CK searches from that MITRE weakness context. This is a Glexia lookup hint, not an official ATT&CK mapping.
The CVE wording references SSRF or metadata access, so cloud discovery and credential material review may help. This is a Glexia inferred lookup path, not an official MITRE, ATT&CK, or CVE Program mapping.
These fields come from the CVE record and ADP containers, not from Glexia's Take. They preserve time-varying source decisions such as CISA SSVC, KEV status, CVSS metrics, and provider references.

Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF)
Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) represents a recurring weakness pattern that can create exploitable paths when design, validation, or implementation controls are missing.
