How to Fix GHSA-xf64-2f9p-6pqq

To remediate this vulnerability, upgrade all affected Type 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.

type-graphql fixed: 0.17.6 
npm install type-graphql@0.17.6
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 type-graphql

How to Check if You Are Affected

To determine whether your Node.js application is affected by GHSA-xf64-2f9p-6pqq, inspect your project dependencies using npm:

npm ls type-graphql

Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of Type graphql in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 0.17.6), your application is affected.

Note: The npm ls type-graphql 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 CWE-209: Generation of Error Message Containing Sensitive Information, where the product generates an error message that includes sensitive information about its environment, users, or associated data. In Type 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.
