Vulnerability in strawberry-graphql (CVE-2026-47706)
Summary
Vulnerability in strawberry-graphql (CVE-2026-47706). Risk of unauthorized operations or information disclosure. Mitigation: upgrade to 0.315.7 or later.
Original description
The description as published by the source.
Summary
The QueryDepthLimiter extension is vulnerable to an Application-level DOS due to a lack of cycle detection in fragment spreads. When a query contains circular fragment references the determine_depth function enters an infinite recursion, leading to a RecursionError and crashing the validation process.
Details
The determine_depth function in query_depth_limiter.py recursively resolves FragmentSpreadNode without maintaining a set of visited fragments.
By submitting a query with circular fragment references (e.g., Fragment A $\rightarrow$ Fragment B $\rightarrow$ Fragment A), the validator enters an infinite recursion.
