23
FAUCET Score

CVE-2024-43414 is a denial-of-service vulnerability affecting Apollo Federation components, specifically @apollo/query-planner versions <2.8.5, @apollo/gateway versions <2.8.5, and Apollo Router <1.52.1. A sufficiently complex GraphQL query, particularly one with fields resolvable by multiple subgraphs, can cause the query planner to enter an infinite loop due to exceeding Javascript's Number.MAX_VALUE, leading to unbounded memory consumption and system crashes. This vulnerability has a CVSS score of 7.5 (HIGH), indicating it can be exploited remotely without authentication or user interaction, resulting in a complete loss of availability. There is currently no evidence of active exploitation, publicly available exploit code, or significant community discussion surrounding this CVE.
