Description
CVE-2026-118665 is a high-severity vulnerability in the ardatan graphql-tools legacy WebSocket executor package prior to version 1.1.36. The issue involves insufficient session expiration where sensitive connection parameters from a previous request are retained and reused in subsequent requests with different authorization contexts. This can cause a later request to be authenticated as an earlier user if it omits certain sensitive keys. The vulnerability is fixed in version 1.1.36.
