OpenZeppelin Contracts Wizard has Code Injection in Generated Hardhat and Foundry Tests via Unsanitized opts.name / opts.uri

High severity GitHub Reviewed Published May 20, 2026 in OpenZeppelin/contracts-wizard • Updated Jun 11, 2026

Package

npm @openzeppelin/wizard (npm)

Affected versions

<= 0.10.8

Patched versions

0.10.9

Description

Summary

The OpenZeppelin Contracts Wizard generated Hardhat (test/test.ts) and Foundry (test/<Name>.t.sol) example test files that interpolated user-supplied strings (opts.name, opts.uri) into the test source without escaping. A crafted input could produce a generated test file in which the input string broke out of its surrounding literal and was parsed as code, executing when a developer ran npm test or forge test on the downloaded project.

Impact

  • Users of the hosted Wizard at https://wizard.openzeppelin.com: no action required. The site has been redeployed with the fix.
  • Users of @openzeppelin/wizard via the documented public API: not affected. The vulnerable functions (zipHardhat, zipFoundry) are not part of the package's documented public exports.
  • Callers of zipHardhat / zipFoundry who forward externally-controlled strings into opts.name / opts.uri: upgrade to 0.10.9.

Patches

Fixed in @openzeppelin/wizard@0.10.9.

CVSS v3 base metrics

Attack vector: More severe the more the remote (logically and physically) an attacker can be in order to exploit the vulnerability.
Attack complexity: More severe for the least complex attacks.
Privileges required: More severe if no privileges are required.
User interaction: More severe when no user interaction is required.
Scope: More severe when a scope change occurs, e.g. one vulnerable component impacts resources in components beyond its security scope.
Confidentiality: More severe when loss of data confidentiality is highest, measuring the level of data access available to an unauthorized user.
Integrity: More severe when loss of data integrity is the highest, measuring the consequence of data modification possible by an unauthorized user.
Availability: More severe when the loss of impacted component availability is highest.

Weaknesses

Improper Control of Generation of Code ('Code Injection')

The product constructs all or part of a code segment using externally-influenced input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements that could modify the syntax or behavior of the intended code segment. Learn more on MITRE.
