{ "schema_version": "1.4.0", "id": "GHSA-wjv6-jcfj-mf9r", "modified": "2026-07-28T21:50:09Z", "published": "2026-07-28T21:50:09Z", "aliases": [ "CVE-2026-54654" ], "summary": "`datamodel-code-generator` vulnerable to code injection via unescaped carriage return in `--extra-template-data` `comment` field", "details": "### Summary\n\n`datamodel-code-generator` is vulnerable to code injection when a developer passes an `--extra-template-data` file whose `comment` value contains a literal `\\r` (carriage return). The `comment` variable is rendered into a Python `#` comment in six built-in templates with **no** line-terminator escaping. Python's tokenizer treats a bare CR as a physical-line terminator (see [Python language reference — Physical lines](https://docs.python.org/3/reference/lexical_analysis.html#physical-lines)), so the comment ends at the `\\r` and the text after it is parsed as Python, including, when the CR is followed by suitable indentation, as a statement within the class body that follows on the next template line.\n\n### Details\n\nThe vulnerable templates each contain `# {{ comment }}` with no escaping:\n\n- `src/datamodel_code_generator/model/template/TypeAliasAnnotation.jinja2:12` and `:19`\n- `src/datamodel_code_generator/model/template/TypeAliasType.jinja2:12` and `:19`\n- `src/datamodel_code_generator/model/template/TypeStatement.jinja2:12` and `:19`\n- `src/datamodel_code_generator/model/template/pydantic_v2/BaseModel.jinja2:4`\n- `src/datamodel_code_generator/model/template/pydantic_v2/RootModel.jinja2:19`\n- `src/datamodel_code_generator/model/template/pydantic_v2/RootModelTypeAlias.jinja2:13`\n\nThe `pydantic_v2/BaseModel.jinja2:4` site is representative:\n\n```jinja2\nclass {{ class_name }}({{ base_class }}):{% if comment is defined %} # {{ comment }}{% endif %}\n```\n\nWhen the developer-supplied extras file populates `comment` for a model, the value reaches the template via `DataModel.extra_template_data` (set in `src/datamodel_code_generator/model/base.py:736-742`) and Jinja2 interpolates it raw. None of the templates use `comment_safe`, `escape_docstring`, or any other line-terminator filter.\n\n### PoC\nComplete self contained POC is available at my secret gist: https://gist.github.com/thegr1ffyn/8ad6b8cb3cc2be9d3a0144aeb6896a3f\n\n### Impact\n\n- **Who's affected**: any developer or CI pipeline that runs `datamodel-codegen --extra-template-data ` where the extras file is influenced by attacker-controlled input. Realistic scenarios include:\n - Extras file generated from a third-party schema-annotation system.\n - Extras file vendored from an upstream repository.\n - Extras file produced by a script that merges multiple `comment` sources.\n - Build pipelines that template the extras file from environment variables, ticket descriptions, or commit metadata.\n- **What it gains**: arbitrary Python code execution in the importer's process at `import` time.\n- **What it does NOT need**: the schema itself can be entirely benign; only the extras file needs to contain the malicious `comment`.\n- **What does block it**: not passing `--extra-template-data`, or rejecting extras files whose `comment` values contain `\\r`, `\\x0b`, or `\\x0c` before invocation.\n\n### Resolution\n\nThe fix normalizes `comment` values from built-in `--extra-template-data` before template rendering. Inline comments now convert CRLF, bare CR, vertical tab, and form feed into LF and prefix continuation lines with `# `, so attacker-controlled text stays inside the generated Python comment block.\n\n### Remediation\n\nUpgrade to `datamodel-code-generator` `0.60.2` or later.\n\nThis issue affects `datamodel-code-generator` versions `>= 0.14.1, <= 0.60.1` and is fixed in `0.60.2`.\n\nSubmitted by: Hamza Haroon (thegr1ffyn)", "severity": [ { "type": "CVSS_V3", "score": "CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H" } ], "affected": [ { "package": { "ecosystem": "PyPI", "name": "datamodel-code-generator" }, "ranges": [ { "type": "ECOSYSTEM", "events": [ { "introduced": "0.14.1" }, { "fixed": "0.60.2" } ] } ], "database_specific": { "last_known_affected_version_range": "<= 0.60.1" } } ], "references": [ { "type": "WEB", "url": "https://github.com/koxudaxi/datamodel-code-generator/security/advisories/GHSA-wjv6-jcfj-mf9r" }, { "type": "WEB", "url": "https://github.com/koxudaxi/datamodel-code-generator/commit/b73abb5cd703a50471b8950bbd3bd0b82ad71de7" }, { "type": "PACKAGE", "url": "https://github.com/koxudaxi/datamodel-code-generator" }, { "type": "WEB", "url": "https://github.com/koxudaxi/datamodel-code-generator/releases/tag/0.60.2" } ], "database_specific": { "cwe_ids": [ "CWE-1336", "CWE-94" ], "severity": "HIGH", "github_reviewed": true, "github_reviewed_at": "2026-07-28T21:50:09Z", "nvd_published_at": null } }
