SCA: security update for @apollo/explorer, @apollo/sandbox (GHSA-w87v-7w53-wwxv)

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 435442

Description

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

 - Apollo Studio Embeddable Explorer & Embeddable Sandbox are website embeddable software solutions from
 Apollo GraphQL. Prior to Apollo Sandbox version 2.7.2 and Apollo Explorer version 3.7.3, a cross-site
 request forgery (CSRF) vulnerability was identified. The vulnerability arises from missing origin
 validation in the client-side code that handles window.postMessage events. A malicious website can send
 forged messages to the embedding page, causing the victim’s browser to execute arbitrary GraphQL queries
 or mutations against their GraphQL server while authenticated with the victim’s cookies. This issue has
 been patched in Apollo Sandbox version 2.7.2 and Apollo Explorer version 3.7.3. (CVE-2025-59845)
