How to Fix GHSA-3p7g-wrgg-wq45

To remediate this vulnerability, upgrade all affected Ibexa/graphql dependencies to a patched release. Both direct and transitive dependencies should be checked, as frameworks or security libraries may pull in vulnerable versions transitively.

ibexa/graphql fixed: 2.5.31 
Upgrade ibexa/graphql to 2.5.31
ibexa/graphql fixed: 4.2.3 
Upgrade ibexa/graphql to 4.2.3
ibexa/graphql fixed: 3.3.28 
Upgrade ibexa/graphql to 3.3.28
Verify Direct and Transitive Dependencies

Run the following command in your project directory to verify that all resolved dependencies use the patched release: 

inspect dependencies for ibexa/graphql

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your application is affected by GHSA-3p7g-wrgg-wq45, inspect your project dependencies for Ibexa/graphql:

inspect dependencies for ibexa/graphql

Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of Ibexa/graphql in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 2.5.31), your application is affected.

Note: Verify declared build manifests and deployed runtime container environments.

Technical Details

Vulnerability Mechanism & Technical Analysis

This vulnerability is classified under CWE-916: Use of Password Hash With Insufficient Computational Effort, where the product generates a hash for a password, but it uses a scheme that does not provide a sufficient level of computational effort that would make password cracking attacks infeasible or expensive. In Ibexa/graphql, software state validation or input boundaries are circumvented during processing. Review the official source advisory statement below for specific affected components, classes, and reproduction details.

Source Advisory Statement

### Impact Unauthenticated GraphQL queries for user accounts can expose password hashes of users that have created or modified content, typically but not necessarily limited to administrators and editors. ### Patches Affected versions: Ibexa DXP v3.3.\*, v4.2.\*, eZ Platform v2.5.\* Resolving versions: Ibexa DXP v3.3.28, v4.2.3, eZ Platform v2.5.31 ### Workarounds Remove the "passwordHash" entry from "src/bundle/Resources/config/graphql/User.types.yaml" in the GraphQL package, and other properties like hash type, email, login if you prefer. ### References This issue was reported to us by Philippe Tranca ("trancap") of the company Lexfo. We are very grateful for their research, and responsible disclosure to us of this critical vulnerability. ### For more information If you have any questions or comments about this advisory, please contact Support via your service portal.
