Unauthorized property disclosure via cross-object cache reuse
Published Apr 3, 2025 · Updated Apr 8, 2025
Information disclosure in API Platform Core before 3.4.17 and 4.0.0-alpha.1 through 4.0.21 allows remote attackers to read secured GraphQL properties. ItemNormalizer leaves the cache key unset when property security is object-dependent, but parent::normalize then creates and reuses a key across different objects instead of reevaluating each grant. Exposure requires a GraphQL property with an object-dependent security expression and normalization of differently authorized objects; the reported consequence is disclosure only.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
Is a vulnerable build present?
Compare these published version ranges with your installed build and any vendor patches.
- Affected versionversion=< 3.4.17
- Affected versionversion=>= 4.0.0-alpha.1, < 4.0.22
