CVE-2026-54653: `datamodel-code-generator` vulnerable to code injection in via attacker-controlled `default_factory` schema field

July 28, 2026

datamodel-code-generator is vulnerable to code injection when generating Python models from an attacker-controlled JSON Schema, OpenAPI, YAML, JSON, Avro, Protobuf, or XSD schema. When a property carries a "default_factory" key, its value is interpolated verbatim — as a raw Python expression — into the generated Field(default_factory=...) / field(default_factory=...) call. Because this assignment is evaluated at class-definition time (i.e. on import of the generated module), an attacker who controls the schema controls a Python expression that runs in the consumer’s process. No special CLI flags are required.
