Security readout for executives and security teams
Plain-English summary
Orval can generate mock TypeScript/JavaScript code from API specifications. In affected versions, a malicious OpenAPI or Swagger file can cause attacker-controlled code to be written into generated mock files. This matters for teams that generate mocks from specifications they do not fully trust.
Executive priority
Prioritize remediation for teams that ingest outside API specifications or run Orval in automated build environments. Internal-only, trusted specifications reduce urgency but do not remove the need to upgrade.
Technical view
CVE-2026-24132 affects orval <=7.19.0 and 8.0.0-rc.0 through 8.0.2. Unescaped schema property const values are interpolated in the faker mock scalar generator, causing arbitrary TypeScript/JavaScript emission in generated interfaces and faker/MSW handlers. The issue is fixed in 7.20.0 and 8.0.3.
Likely exposure
Exposure is most likely in developer workstations, CI jobs, or build pipelines using Orval mock generation with external, user-supplied, or partner-supplied OpenAPI v3 or Swagger v2 specifications.
Exploitation context
Sources do not report active exploitation or CISA KEV listing. Exploitation requires attacker influence over the API specification and user interaction, such as generating or consuming mock code from that specification.
Researcher notes
The vulnerability is in a different path than the earlier enum x-enumDescriptions issue: packages/mock/src/faker/getters/scalar.ts. Evidence names const handling, generated mock files, interface definitions, and faker/MSW handlers. Public sources identify fixes but do not provide evidence of exploitation in the wild.
Mitigation direction
- Upgrade Orval 7.x deployments to 7.20.0 or later.
- Upgrade Orval 8.x deployments to 8.0.3 or later.
- Do not generate mocks from untrusted specifications until upgraded.
- Review generated mock files before execution in sensitive environments.
- Check vendor advisory for any additional project-specific guidance.
Validation and detection
- Inventory package manifests and lockfiles for Orval versions.
- Identify CI jobs or scripts that run Orval mock generation.
- Determine whether specifications come from third parties or user-controlled sources.
- Confirm upgraded builds use Orval 7.20.0 or 8.0.3 or later.
- Review recent generated mock changes for unexpected embedded code.
