GraphQL Modules has a Race Condition issue

CVE-2026-23735GHSA-53wg-r69p-v3r7

What to do

Vendor fix available. Upgrade each affected package to the fixed version on its release line (graphql-modules 3.1.1, 2.4.1), redeploy, then verify what is actually installed.

This page has no inventory attached, so it cannot say whether you are affected. A vendor fix is not proof that your deployment is fixed.

Source description

As published by the source; long descriptions are shortened.

Summary Originally reported as an issue #2613 but should be elevated to a security issue as the ExecutionContext is often used to pass authentication tokens from incoming requests to services loading data from backend APIs. Details When 2 or more parallel requests are made which trigger the same service, the context of the requests is mixed up in the service when the context is injected via @ExecutionContext() PoC In a new project/folder, create and install the following package.json: with: configure babel.config.json using: then write the following test GHSA-53wg-r69p-v3r7.spec.ts: and execute using: Your project tree should look like this: Expected vs. Actual Outcome Impact Any application that uses services that inject the context using @ExecutionContext() from a singleton provider are at risk. The more traffic an application has, the higher the chance for parallel requests, the higher the risk.

# Patch Next advisory brief: CVE-2026-23735

Advisory: GraphQL Modules has a Race Condition issue
IDs: CVE-2026-23735, GHSA-53wg-r69p-v3r7
Record: https://patchnext.com/advisories/cve-2026-23735 (revision 3, source checked 26 Oct 2026, 12:41 UTC)
Inventory: none attached. This brief comes from a public page and does not say whether any deployment is affected.
Severity: High (CVSS 8.7)
Exploitation: no confirmed exploitation recorded. Patch Next confirms exploitation only from CISA KEV.
Vendor response: Vendor fix available; fixed versions by package: graphql-modules 3.1.1, 2.4.1. A vendor fix does not mean a deployment is fixed.

## Affected components
- npm graphql-modules: affected >= 2.2.1, < 2.4.1; >= 3.0.0, < 3.1.1; fixed in 2.4.1, 3.1.1

## Suggested inspection (read-only)
- `npm ls graphql-modules --all`: lists every installed copy and version, including transitive ones. Run in the project root after `npm ci`.

## Supported action
Upgrade each affected component to a fixed version on its release line. For a transitive dependency, upgrade the parent package or add an override or constraint, then regenerate the lockfile. Redeploy every environment that ran an affected version.

## Required regression checks
- Run the test suite and a production build.
- Exercise the features that depend on graphql-modules.
- Repeat the inspection and confirm that only fixed versions remain installed.

## Rollback considerations
- Keep the previous lockfile and deployment artifact. Rolling back reinstates the vulnerable version, so apply any documented mitigation while you fix forward.

## Unresolved questions
- Which deployments run an affected version?
- Exploitation status can change. Check again before lowering the priority.
- Mark the work resolved only after the fixed version is verified in production.

## Sources
- Verified: https://osv.dev/vulnerability/GHSA-53wg-r69p-v3r7 (OSV record GHSA-53wg-r69p-v3r7 lists affected ranges: npm graphql-modules >=2.2.1 =3.0.0 <3.1.1 (fixed))
- Verified: https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-53wg-r69p-v3r7 (GitHub-reviewed advisory GHSA-53wg-r69p-v3r7 lists affected ranges: npm graphql-modules >=2.2.1 =3.0.0 <3.1.1)
