Unauthenticated database exfiltration via upsert condition injection
Published Apr 24, 2026 · Updated Apr 24, 2026
DQL injection in Dgraph before 25.3.3 allows remote attackers to read the entire database through an unauthenticated HTTP mutation. The buildUpsertQuery path rewrites @if to @filter, then appends the unvalidated cond value to a DQL string, allowing an injected named query block to execute and return its results. ACL-disabled deployments are exposed by default; with ACL enabled, remote authenticated users with mutation-only permission can bypass predicate read authorization.

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.
