Description
CVE-2026-34976 is a critical authorization bypass vulnerability in dgraph-io's open source distributed GraphQL database, dgraph, affecting versions prior to 25.3.1. The restoreTenant admin mutation lacks authorization middleware, allowing unauthenticated attackers to execute it without restriction. This mutation accepts attacker-controlled inputs such as backup source URLs, S3/MinIO credentials, encryption key file paths, and Vault credential file paths. Exploitation can lead to full database overwrite, server-side file reading, and server-side request forgery (SSRF). The vulnerability is fixed in version 25.3.1. The product is a cloud service, and the vendor manages remediation for the hosted service.
