## What is CVE-2026-55415?

CVE-2026-55415 is a high-severity code injection vulnerability in koxudaxi datamodel-code-generator, published on 28 Jul 2026. An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.

### Official description

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 0.11.6 until 0.64.0, datamodel-code-generator allows attacker-controlled x-python-import or customTypePath schema extensions to reach src/datamodel_code_generator/parser/jsonschema.py and generated import handling through Import.from_full_path and Imports.create_line in src/datamodel_code_generator/imports.py, allowing a newline to break out of an import statement and execute Python code when the generated model is imported. This issue is fixed in version 0.64.0.

Weakness: CWE-95 (Improper Neutralization of Directives in Dynamically Evaluated Code), CWE-94 (Improper Control of Generation of Code)

Check this codebase for CVE-2026-55415 and fix it if it is affected.

What it is: CVE-2026-55415 is a high-severity code injection vulnerability in koxudaxi datamodel-code-generator, published on 28 Jul 2026. An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.
Exploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2026-55415 exists.

Affected packages and fixed versions:
- datamodel-code-generator (PyPI): affected from 0.11.6; fixed in 0.64.0
- datamodel-code-generator (PyPI): affected from 0.11.6; fixed in 0.64.0
- datamodel-code-generator (PyPI): affected from 0.11.6; fixed in 0.64.0

Task:
1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.
2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.
3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.
4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.
5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.
