SCA: security update for github.com/dgraph-io/dgraph/v25 (GHSA-mrxx-39g5-ph77)

critical Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 440819

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, a vulnerability has been found in
Dgraph that gives an unauthenticated attacker full read access to every piece of data in the database.
This affects Dgraph's default configuration where ACL is not enabled. The attack is a single HTTP POST to
/mutate?commitNow=true containing a crafted cond field in an upsert mutation. The cond value is
concatenated directly into a DQL query string via strings.Builder.WriteString after only a cosmetic
strings.Replace transformation. No escaping, parameterization, or structural validation is applied. An
attacker injects an additional DQL query block into the cond string, which the DQL parser accepts as a
syntactically valid named query block. The injected query executes server-side and its results are
returned in the HTTP response. This vulnerability is fixed in 25.3.3. (CVE-2026-41327)

Solution

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