SCA: security update for github.com/graph-gophers/graphql-go (GHSA-mh3m-8c74-74xh)

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 416965

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

 - graphql-go is a GraphQL server with a focus on ease of use. In versions prior to 1.3.0 there exists a DoS
 vulnerability that is possible due to a bug in the library that would allow an attacker with specifically
 designed queries to cause stack overflow panics. Any user with access to the GraphQL handler can send
 these queries and cause stack overflows. This in turn could potentially compromise the ability of the
 server to serve data to its users. The issue has been patched in version `v1.3.0`. The only known
 workaround for this issue is to disable the `graphql.MaxDepth` option from your schema which is not
 recommended. (CVE-2022-21708)
