Generated-source injection via unfiltered line terminators
Published Sep 14, 2026 · Updated Sep 14, 2026
Code injection in OpenZeppelin Contracts Wizard packages allows attackers to alter generated smart-contract source through crafted metadata. The shared setInfo path writes info.securityContact and info.license verbatim into single-line comments, so a line terminator ends the comment and emits following input as declarations. Exploitation requires an integration to populate either field from untrusted input and a user to consume the output; normal self-service use does not cross that trust boundary, and no code executes on a Wizard service.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
Is a vulnerable build present?
Compare these published version ranges with your installed build and any vendor patches.
