npm install @graphql-tools/utils@12.0.1
A fixed version on one release line is not the upgrade target for every line. Check your exact version and any vendor backports.
Description
Closed by https://github.com/ardatan/graphql-tools/pull/8423 Mitigated in Hive Gateway by https://github.com/graphql-hive/gateway/pull/2600
A client can alias fields to constructor, __proto__ or prototype so that the response keys from two subgraphs collide on those names during result merging. Because mergeDeep recursed through inherited properties, the merge walked {}.constructor to Object, then Object.__proto__ to Function.prototype, and wrote a subgraph-supplied value over Function.prototype.call, breaking every subsequent request in the process until restart. This is remotely triggerable by an unauthenticated client with a single query against any supergraph that merges an object from two subgraphs, which is the ordinary @shareable or entity case, so it is a denial of service rather than a theoretical hardening issue.
