CVE-2026-54663: swagger-typescript-api vulnerable to Server-Side Request Forgery via spec `$ref`

July 29, 2026

swagger-typescript-api walks every $ref value in the input OpenAPI spec and, for any $ref whose target is an http(s):// URL, issues an HTTP GET to that URL during generation (warmUpRemoteSchemasCache). The only URL filter is a regex that matches ^https?:// — there is no private-IP allowlist, no DNS-rebinding protection, no redirect cap, and no same-origin check against the spec source. A malicious OpenAPI spec can therefore force the generator process to issue HTTP requests to arbitrary hosts and paths reachable from the generator’s network, including 127.0.0.1, RFC-1918 ranges, internal hostnames, and the cloud instance-metadata endpoint at 169.254.169.254.

The attacker model is identical to the previously reported code-injection findings: a developer or CI pipeline that runs swagger-typescript-api generate against an attacker-controlled spec (remote URL, third-party / public OpenAPI registry, multi-tenant tenant input, or a spec file modified via PR).
