CVE-2026-59864: Microsoft Kiota

Critical severity, CVSS 9.3. EPSS: 1.3% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

Kiota is an OpenAPI based HTTP Client code generator. Prior to 1.29.1 and 1.32.5, `kiota plugin add` and `kiota plugin generate` (with `-t APIPlugin`) emitted attacker-controlled static_template.file values from x-ai-adaptive-card and x-ai-capabilities into generated Microsoft 365 Copilot and Teams plugin manifests without path validation, allowing ../, absolute, rooted, UNC, Windows drive, or URI paths in response_semantics.static_template.file to cause path traversal or out-of-package file inclusion when the generated plugin was deployed. This issue is fixed in version 1.29.1 and 1.32.5.

Affected products

• Microsoft Kiota: from 1.30.0, before 1.31.1 (fixed in 1.31.1); before 1.29.1 (fixed in 1.29.1)
