SCA: security update for graphql-core (GHSA-r77w-qph3-7vf8)

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 476854

Description

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

 - GraphQL-core is a Python port of the GraphQL.js reference implementation. From 3.2.3 until 3.2.12 and
 3.3.0rc1, the parser's max_tokens limit in Parser.advance_lexer counts only non-comment tokens returned
 after Lexer.lookahead skips comments. Each skipped comment is still allocated as a Token and retained
 through token.next and token.prev, allowing a highly compressible comment-padded GraphQL document to pass
 a low token limit while consuming memory. An unauthenticated remote attacker can exhaust worker memory
 before AST-based depth or complexity controls run. This issue is fixed in versions 3.2.12 and 3.3.0rc1.
 (CVE-2026-75508)

Solution

Update the graphql-core library and its related packages to version 3.2.12 or later.
