SCA: security update for graphql-core (GHSA-mpqx-q82w-9x46)

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 478100

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 3.3.0a3 until 3.3.1,
 validate() reuses a module-level ValidationAbortedError when a document exceeds max_errors. Python appends
 frames to the reused exception's traceback on every raise, retaining each document, validation context,
 and error set for the process lifetime. An unauthenticated client can repeatedly submit a small document
 with more than 100 validation errors to cause unbounded memory growth before query execution, eventually
 exhausting worker memory without disclosing or modifying data. This issue is fixed in version 3.3.1.
 (CVE-2026-119286)

Solution

Update the graphql-core library and its related packages to version 3.3.1 or later.
