SCA: security update for github.com/dgraph-io/dgraph/v25 (GHSA-q2m9-6jp9-c6mc)

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 444116

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 version 25.3.4, the `checkUserPassword`
 GraphQL query in Dgraph is vulnerable to DQL (Dgraph Query Language) injection. User-supplied password
 values are interpolated directly into a DQL `checkpwd()` query via `fmt.Sprintf` without any escaping or
 parameterization. An attacker can inject a password containing a double-quote character to break out of
 the DQL string literal and append arbitrary DQL query blocks. Version 25.3.4 patches the issue.
 (CVE-2026-44840)

Solution

Update the github.com/dgraph-io/dgraph/v25 library and its related packages to version 25.3.4 or later.
