HIGH 8.2UPGRADE
CVE-2026-54690 is a high-severity flaw (CVSS 8.2) affecting datamodel-code-generator. Below: why it ranks where it does, which versions are affected, what to do, and the exact commands.
datamodel-code-generator generates Pydantic v2 models, dataclasses, TypedDict, and msgspec.Struct from OpenAPI, JSON Schema, GraphQL, Avro, Protobuf, and raw JSON, YAML, or CSV. From 0.9.1 until 0.61.0, datamodel-code-generator silently dereferences attacker-controlled JSON Schema $ref HTTP or HTTPS URLs in src/datamodel_code_generator/parser/jsonschema.py through _get_ref_body, and the --allow-remote-refs gate can warn instead of blocking, allow
Why this priority
- High severity
- Public exploit reference
A fixed release or distro patch exists.

koxudaxi datamodel-code-generator UPGRADE
Affected: >= 0.9.1 and < 0.61.0
Fixed in: 0.61.0
Safe to downgrade to: a release before 0.9.1
1. Check installed version
apt-cache policy datamodel-code-generator || rpm -q datamodel-code-generator || datamodel-code-generator --version
2. UPGRADE to 0.61.0 (Debian / Ubuntu)
sudo apt update && sudo apt install --only-upgrade datamodel-code-generator
2. UPGRADE (RHEL / Amazon Linux / Fedora)
sudo dnf upgrade datamodel-code-generator
Note
Distros often backport fixes without changing the version number. Confirm with the distro advisory or changelog.
3. If no update is available yet, DOWNGRADE to a release before 0.9.1 (Debian / Ubuntu)
apt-cache madison datamodel-code-generator
sudo apt install datamodel-code-generator=<VERSION_BEFORE_0.9.1>
sudo apt-mark hold datamodel-code-generator
3. If no update is available yet, DOWNGRADE (RHEL / Amazon Linux / Fedora)
dnf --showduplicates list datamodel-code-generator
sudo dnf downgrade datamodel-code-generator-<VERSION_BEFORE_0.9.1>
sudo dnf versionlock add datamodel-code-generator
Downgrade risk
Downgrading can break dependent software and may reopen older bugs. Read the distro advisory first and test on a non-production host.
After downgrade
Restart the service, and keep the package held until a fixed release ships.
