Orval: RCE via schema property name -> computed-property-key injection in the MSW mock generator
Quick fix
GHSA-2w86-xfrc-g85r — orval: upgrade to the fixed version with the command below.
npm install orval@8.21.0Details
### Summary
orval, when generating MSW mocks (output.mock: true), emits each schema property name as a single-quoted object key in the mock factory WITHOUT escaping the single quote. A ' in a property name closes the key and lands in object-literal context, where an injected computed property key [expr] is evaluated when the mock factory is called (e.g. in tests / MSW handlers) -> RCE. The property name is a pure data field. Verified on orval 8.19.0 / Node.
### Details
```ts export const getOpResponseMock = (...): Thing => ({'x': 0, [require("fs").writeFileSync("PWNED","")]: 0, 'y': faker...., ...overrideResponse}); ```
Safe elsewhere: the zod schema double-quotes the property name; the TS interface key is a type (DoS only). Distinct from orval's $ref / route-path / server-url / zod-default findings.
### PoC
reproduce.sh (+ make_spec.py) attached: a property name `x': 0, [require("fs").writeFileSync("<marker>","")]: 0, 'y` -> mock object literal; calling the mock factory writes the marker. Verified on 8.19.0.
### Impact
JavaScript / OS command execution (via child_process) on the machine of anyone who generates orval mocks from an attacker controlled spec and runs them (tests / MSW).
### Suggested fix
Escape the property name for the JS string key (JSON.stringify), and never interpolate a raw property name adjacent to [ ] in object-literal position.
