Application crash via cyclic GraphQL fragments
Published May 4, 2022 · Updated Aug 22, 2024
Improper GraphQL request validation in Peter Ohler Agoo before 2.14.3 allows remote attackers to crash the application. The GraphQL request handler accepts mutually recursive fragment spreads and repeatedly expands the cycle into unbounded results instead of rejecting it. The GraphQL endpoint must be enabled and reachable; the vendor disputes that enforcing developer logic errors is the server's responsibility.
