SCA: security update for github.com/dgraph-io/dgraph/v25 (GHSA-p5rh-vmhp-gvcw)

critical Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 439696

Description

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

 - Dgraph is an open source distributed GraphQL database. Prior to 25.3.1, the restoreTenant admin mutation
 is missing from the authorization middleware config (admin.go), making it completely unauthenticated.
 Unlike the similar restore mutation which requires Guardian-of-Galaxy authentication, restoreTenant
 executes with zero middleware. This mutation accepts attacker-controlled backup source URLs (including
 file:// for local filesystem access), S3/MinIO credentials, encryption key file paths, and Vault
 credential file paths. An unauthenticated attacker can overwrite the entire database, read server-side
 files, and perform SSRF. This vulnerability is fixed in 25.3.1. (CVE-2026-34976)

Solution

Update the github.com/dgraph-io/dgraph/v25 library and its related packages to version 25.3.1 or later.
