How to Fix GHSA-74hv-qjjq-h7g5

To remediate this vulnerability, upgrade all affected Datasette 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.

datasette-graphql fixed: 1.2 
pip install datasette-graphql>=1.2
Verify Direct and Transitive Dependencies

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

pip show datasette-graphql

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your Python environment is affected by GHSA-74hv-qjjq-h7g5, inspect your installed packages using pip:

pip show datasette-graphql

Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of Datasette graphql in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 1.2), your application is affected.

Note: The pip show datasette-graphql command checks currently installed packages in your active Python environment.

Technical Details

Vulnerability Mechanism & Technical Analysis

This vulnerability is classified under CWE-200: Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor, where the product exposes sensitive information to an actor that is not explicitly authorized to have access to that information. In Datasette 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 When running against a Datasette instance with private databases, `datasette-graphql` would expose the schema of those database tables - but not the table contents. ### Patches Patched in version 1.2. ### Workarounds This issue is only present if a Datasette instance that includes private databases and has the `datasette-graphql` plugin installed is available on the public internet. Uninstalling the `datasette-graphql` plugin or preventing public access to the instance can workaround this issue. ### For more information If you have any questions or comments about this advisory: * Open an issue in [datasette-graphql](https://github.com/simonw/datasette-graphql) * Contact [@simonw](https://twitter.com/simonw) by Twitter direct message
