How to Fix GHSA-9w87-4j72-gcv7

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

graphql-code-generator fixed: 0.18.2 
npm install graphql-code-generator@0.18.2
Verify Direct and Transitive Dependencies

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

npm ls graphql-code-generator

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your Node.js application is affected by GHSA-9w87-4j72-gcv7, inspect your project dependencies using npm:

npm ls graphql-code-generator

Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of Graphql code generator in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 0.18.2), your application is affected.

Note: The npm ls graphql-code-generator command inspects dependencies declared in your package.json and lockfile; it does not perform automated runtime dynamic scanning.

Technical Details

Vulnerability Mechanism & Technical Analysis

This vulnerability is classified under General Security Weakness. In Graphql code generator, 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

Versions of `graphql-code-generator` prior to 0.18.2 have an Insecure Default Configuration. The packages sets `NODE_TLS_REJECT_UNAUTHORIZED` to 0, disabling certificate verification for the entire project. This results in Insecure Communication for the process. ## Recommendation Upgrade to version 0.18.2 or later.
