SCA: security update for graphiti (GHSA-3m5v-4xp5-gjg2)

critical Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 439058

Description

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

 - Graphiti is a framework that sits on top of models and exposes them via a JSON:API-compliant interface.
 Versions prior to 1.10.2 have an arbitrary method execution vulnerability that affects Graphiti's JSONAPI
 write functionality. An attacker can craft a malicious JSONAPI payload with arbitrary relationship names
 to invoke any public method on the underlying model instance, class or its associations. Any application
 exposing Graphiti write endpoints (create/update/delete) to untrusted users is affected. The
 `Graphiti::Util::ValidationResponse#all_valid?` method recursively calls `model.send(name)` using
 relationship names taken directly from user-supplied JSONAPI payloads, without validating them against the
 resource's configured sideloads. This allows an attacker to potentially run any public method on a given
 model instance, on the instance class or associated instances or classes, including destructive
 operations. This is patched in Graphiti v1.10.2. Users should upgrade as soon as possible. Some
 workarounds are available. Ensure Graphiti write endpoints (create/update) are not accessible to untrusted
 users and/or apply strong authentication and authorization checks before any write operation is processed,
 for example use Rails strong parameters to ensure only valid parameters are processed. (CVE-2026-33286)

Solution

Update the graphiti library and its related packages to version 1.10.2 or later.
