CVE-2026-92681Network attack vectorHinoki check available

Authentication bypass via ignored inherited directives

Published Oct 12, 2026 · Updated Oct 12, 2026

Authentication bypass in Neo4j GraphQL Library 7.6.3 and earlier allows remote attackers to invoke protected top-level @cypher fields. These fields ignore schema-level and Query or Mutation type-level @authentication directives, enforcing only field-level directives. Exposure requires an application relying on inherited protection; configured Cypher executes with service-account privileges, with data access bounded by the statement and account permissions.
