How to Fix CVE-2024-47614

To remediate this vulnerability, upgrade all affected Async 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.

async-graphql fixed: 7.0.10 
Upgrade async-graphql to 7.0.10
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 async-graphql

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your application is affected by CVE-2024-47614, inspect your project dependencies for Async graphql:

inspect dependencies for async-graphql

Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of Async graphql in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 7.0.10), 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-770: Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling, where the product allocates a reusable resource or group of resources on behalf of an actor without imposing any intended restrictions on the size or number of resources that can be allocated. In Async 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 - Service Disruption: The server may become unresponsive or extremely slow, potentially leading to downtime. - Resource Exhaustion: Excessive use of server resources, such as CPU and memory, could negatively impact other services running on the same infrastructure. - User Experience Degradation: Users may experience delays or failures when accessing the service, which could lead to frustration and loss of trust in the service. ### Patches 1. Upgrade to v7.0.10 2. Use [SchemaBuilder.limit_directives](https://docs.rs/async-graphql/latest/async_graphql/struct.SchemaBuilder.html#method.limit_directives) to limit the maximum number of directives for a single field.
