SCA: security update for graphql-core (GHSA-vj8h-fx38-h3vc)

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 476826

Description

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

 - GraphQL-core is a Python port of the GraphQL.js reference implementation. From 3.0.0 until 3.2.12 and
 3.3.0rc1, the OverlappingFieldsCanBeMerged rule in specified_rules repeatedly compares fields that share
 response names and recursively re-compares flattened inline fragments during the validation phase. The
 prior named-fragment memoization does not cover this path, so nested repeated inline fragments can drive
 quadratic and worst-case O(n²·m²) CPU work before any resolver or AST-based depth or complexity control
 runs. An unauthenticated remote attacker can submit a shallow, highly compressible GraphQL query that pins
 a worker process and can saturate a multi-worker service. This issue is fixed in versions 3.2.12 and
 3.3.0rc1. (CVE-2026-75507)

Solution

Update the graphql-core library and its related packages to version 3.2.12 or later.
