Security Impact
CVSS: 5.8
The security impact metrics below are parsed directly from the CVSS v3.1 vector string (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:L).
How to Fix CVE-2025-27098
To remediate this vulnerability, upgrade all affected @graphql mesh/cli dependencies to a patched release. Both direct and transitive dependencies should be checked, as frameworks or security libraries may pull in vulnerable versions transitively.
npm install @graphql-mesh/cli@0.82.22
npm install @graphql-mesh/http@0.3.19
Run the following command in your project directory to verify that all resolved dependencies use the patched release:
npm ls @graphql-mesh/cli
How to Check if You Are Affected
To determine whether your Node.js application is affected by CVE-2025-27098, inspect your project dependencies using npm:
npm ls @graphql-mesh/cli
Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of @graphql mesh/cli in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 0.82.22), your application is affected.
Note: The npm ls @graphql-mesh/cli 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-22: Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory ('Path Traversal'), where the product uses external input to construct a pathname that is intended to identify a file or directory that is located underneath a restricted parent directory, but the product does not properly neutralize special elements within the pathname that can cause the pathname to resolve to a location that is outside of the restricted directory. In @graphql mesh/cli, 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.

"details" : "### Summary\nMissing check vulnerability in the static file handler allows any client to access the files in the server's file system\n\n### Details\nWhen `staticFiles` is set in the `serve` settings in the configuration file, the following handler doesn't check if `absolutePath` is still under the directory provided as `staticFiles`;\n\n```ts\n if (staticFiles) {\n router.get('/:relativePath+', async request => {\n let { relativePath } = request.params;\n if (!relativePath) {\n relativePath = 'index.html';\n }\n const absolutePath = path.join(baseDir, staticFiles, relativePath);\n if (absolutePath.includes(staticFiles) && (await pathExists(absolutePath))) {\n const readStream = fs.createReadStream(absolutePath);\n return new Response(readStream as any, {\n status: 200,\n });\n }\n return undefined;\n });\n ```\n\n### Example scenario\nTo reproduce it, set `staticFiles` to the relative path of a directory in `.meshrc.yml`;\n\n```yml\nserve:\n staticFiles: ./public\n```\n\nThen start the server with `mesh dev`, and browse to `/..%2fpackage.json` then you will see the content of `package.json`. You can even go deeper to see sensitive data; `/..%2f..%2f..%2f..%2f..%2f..%2f..%2f..%2f..%2f..%2f..%2f..%2fetc/passwd`\n\n### Impact and solution\nIf `staticFiles` is set under `serve` in the configuration file. you have two options to fix vulnerability;\n\n- Update `@graphql-mesh/cli` to a version higher than `0.82.21`, and if you use `@graphql-mesh/http`, update it to a version higher than `0.3.18`\n- Remove `staticFiles` option from the configuration, and use other solutions to serve static files.\n\n### Credits\nThanks [alanwillms@gmail.com](mailto:alanwillms@gmail.com) for reporting this vulnerability with details",
