SCA: security update for github.com/dgraph-io/dgraph/v25 (GHSA-vvf7-6rmr-m29q)

critical Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 440813

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 25.3.3, Dgraphl exposes the process
 command line through the unauthenticated /debug/vars endpoint on Alpha. Because the admin token is
 commonly supplied via the --security "token=..." startup flag, an unauthenticated attacker can retrieve
 that token and replay it in the X-Dgraph-AuthToken header to access admin-only endpoints. This is a
 variant of the previously fixed /debug/pprof/cmdline issue, but the current fix is incomplete because it
 blocks only /debug/pprof/cmdline and still serves http.DefaultServeMux, which includes expvar's
 /debug/vars handler. This vulnerability is fixed in 25.3.3. (CVE-2026-41492)

Solution

Update the github.com/dgraph-io/dgraph/v25 library and its related packages to version 25.3.3 or later.
