Authorization Bypass in graphql-shield

Low severity GitHub Reviewed Published Sep 3, 2020 to the GitHub Advisory Database • Updated Jan 9, 2023

Package

npm graphql-shield (npm)

Affected versions

< 6.0.6

Patched versions

6.0.6

Description

Versions of graphql-shield prior to 6.0.6 are vulnerable to an Authorization Bypass. The rule caching option no_cache relies on keys generated by cryptographically insecure functions, which may cause rules to be incorrectly cached. This allows attackers to access information they should not have access to in case of a key collision.

Recommendation

Upgrade to version 6.0.6 or later.
