SCA: security update for github.com/dgraph-io/dgraph/v25 (GHSA-95mq-xwj4-r47p)

critical Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 440920

Description

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

 - Dgraph is an open source distributed GraphQL database. Versions 25.3.1 and prior contain an
 unauthenticated credential disclosure vulnerability where the /debug/pprof/cmdline endpoint is registered
 on the default mux and reachable without authentication, exposing the full process command line including
 the admin token configured via the --security "token=..." startup flag. An attacker can retrieve the
 leaked token and reuse it in the X-Dgraph-AuthToken header to gain unauthorized access to admin-only
 endpoints such as /admin/config/cache_mb, bypassing the adminAuthHandler token validation. This enables
 unauthorized privileged administrative access including configuration changes and operational control
 actions in any deployment where the Alpha HTTP port is reachable by untrusted parties. This issue has been
 fixed in version 25.3.2. (CVE-2026-40173)

Solution

Update the github.com/dgraph-io/dgraph/v25 library and its related packages to version 25.3.2 or later.
