Patch Changes

  • #7952 bb81b2c Thanks @glasser! - Upgrade dependencies so that automated scans don't detect a vulnerability.

    @apollo/server depends on express which depends on cookie. Versions of express older than v4.21.1 depend on a version of cookie vulnerable to CVE-2024-47764. Users of older express versions who call res.cookie() or res.clearCookie() may be vulnerable to this issue.

    However, Apollo Server does not call this function directly, and it does not expose any object to user code that allows TypeScript users to call this function without an unsafe cast.

    The only way that this direct dependency can cause a vulnerability for users of Apollo Server is if you call startStandaloneServer with a context function that calls Express-specific methods such as res.cookie() or res.clearCookies() on the response object, which is a violation of the TypeScript types provided by startStandaloneServer (which only promise that the response object is a core Node.js http.ServerResponse rather than the Express-specific subclass). So this vulnerability can only affect Apollo Server users who use unsafe JavaScript or unsafe as typecasts in TypeScript.

    However, this upgrade will at least prevent vulnerability scanners from alerting you to this dependency, and we encourage all Express users to upgrade their project's own express dependency to v4.21.1 or newer.
