SCA: security update for @graphql-tools/utils (GHSA-c4qx-w738-7hr3)

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 476839

Description

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

- GraphQL Tools provides utilities for building, stitching, and mocking GraphQL schemas. From 10.10.1 until
12.0.2, the @graphql-tools/utils mergeIncrementalResult helper passes incrementalResult.path segments to
setObjectKeyPath without runtime primitive-type validation. A non-primitive segment can bypass strict
comparisons against __proto__, constructor, and prototype, then be coerced during property access so a
malicious or compromised upstream incremental GraphQL response writes attacker-controlled properties to
Object.prototype in the consuming Node.js process. The affected implementation is
packages/utils/src/mergeIncrementalResult.ts and is reachable when consumers merge untrusted @defer or
@stream transport results. This issue is fixed in version 12.0.2. (CVE-2026-114604)

Solution

Update the @graphql-tools/utils library and its related packages to version 12.0.2 or later.
