Vulnerability from fkie_nvd - Published: 2026-03-16 14:19 - Updated: 2026-03-16 14:53
Severity ?
9.9 (Critical) - CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:L
Summary
Apollo Federation is an architecture for declaratively composing APIs into a unified graph. Prior to 2.9.6, 2.10.5, 2.11.6, 2.12.3, and 2.13.2, a vulnerability exists in query plan execution within the gateway that may allow pollution of Object.prototype in certain scenarios. A malicious client may be able to pollute Object.prototype in gateway directly by crafting operations with field aliases and/or variable names that target prototype-inheritable properties. Alternatively, if a subgraph were to be compromised by a malicious actor, they may be able to pollute Object.prototype in gateway by crafting JSON response payloads that target prototype-inheritable properties. This vulnerability is fixed in 2.9.6, 2.10.5, 2.11.6, 2.12.3, and 2.13.2.

Antes de 2.9.6, 2.10.5, 2.11.6, 2.12.3 y 2.13.2, existe una vulnerabilidad en la ejecuci\u00f3n del plan de consulta dentro del gateway que puede permitir la contaminaci\u00f3n de Object.prototype en ciertos escenarios. Un cliente malicioso puede ser capaz de contaminar Object.prototype en el gateway directamente elaborando operaciones con alias de campo y/o nombres de variables que apuntan a propiedades heredables del prototipo. Alternativamente, si un subgrafo fuera comprometido por un actor malicioso, podr\u00edan ser capaces de contaminar Object.prototype en el gateway elaborando cargas \u00fatiles de respuesta JSON que apuntan a propiedades heredables del prototipo. Esta vulnerabilidad est\u00e1 corregida en 2.9.6, 2.10.5, 2.11.6, 2.12.3 y 2.13.2."
