CRITICAL 9.3REMOTE

CVE-2026-59865 is a critical-severity flaw (CVSS 9.3) affecting affected software. Below: why it ranks where it does, which versions are affected, what to do, and the exact commands.

Kiota is an OpenAPI based HTTP Client code generator. Prior to 1.29.1 and 1.32.5, `kiota info` read x-ms-kiota-info.languagesInformation.<language>.dependencyInstallCommand plus dependency name and version values from an OpenAPI description and presented the spec-supplied command as Kiota's recommended install command, allowing an attacker-controlled or compromised description to cause command injection when the suggested command was run manually

Why this priority

Critical severity
EPSS top 9%: very likely to be exploited
CISA SSVC: automatable with total technical impact
Remotely exploitable, no login, no user action

A fixed release or distro patch exists.
