AI-suggested
The primary mitigation is to upgrade Apollo Router to versions 1.61.12 or later, or 2.8.1 or later, where the vulnerability is fixed. Organizations should audit their GraphQL schemas to identify any use of @link imports that rename access control directives and verify that access policies are correctly applied. Implement strict schema validation and testing to detect any bypasses of access control rules. Employ runtime monitoring and anomaly detection on GraphQL queries to identify unusual access patterns that may indicate exploitation attempts. Limit network exposure of Apollo Router instances by restricting access to trusted networks or via VPNs. Additionally, enforce strong authentication and authorization at other layers to provide defense-in-depth. Maintain up-to-date inventories of Apollo Router deployments and ensure patch management processes prioritize this vulnerability due to its high severity and ease of exploitation.
Description
Apollo Router Core is a configurable Rust graph router written to run a federated supergraph using Apollo Federation 2. Versions 1.61.12-rc.0 and below and 2.8.1-rc.0 allow unauthorized access to protected data through schema elements with access control directives (@authenticated, @requiresScopes, and @policy) that were renamed via @link imports. Router did not enforce renamed access control directives on schema elements (e.g.fields and types), allowing queries to bypass those element-level access controls. This issue is fixed in versions 1.61.12 and 2.8.1.
