How to Fix GHSA-xq3c-8gqm-v648

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: 4.0.6 
Upgrade async-graphql to 4.0.6
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 GHSA-xq3c-8gqm-v648, 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 4.0.6), your application is affected.

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