Details

As written in the advisory (Markdown source, shown as plain text).

Closed by https://github.com/ardatan/graphql-tools/pull/8423 Mitigated in Hive Gateway by https://github.com/graphql-hive/gateway/pull/2600 A client can alias fields to `constructor`, `__proto__` or `prototype` so that the response keys from two subgraphs collide on those names during result merging. Because `mergeDeep` recursed through inherited properties, the merge walked `{}.constructor` to `Object`, then `Object.__proto__` to `Function.prototype`, and wrote a subgraph-supplied value over `Function.prototype.call`, breaking every subsequent request in the process until restart. This is remotely triggerable by an unauthenticated client with a single query against any supergraph that merges an object from two subgraphs, which is the ordinary `@shareable` or entity case, so it is a denial of service rather than a theoretical hardening issue. ```graphql { shared { fieldA constructor: fieldB { __proto__: child { call: value } } } } ```
