Vendure: Unauthenticated ReDoS via regex filter on SQLite backends
CVE-2026-63460GHSA-jgm3-qmp2-c4p7
What to do
Vendor fix available. Upgrade each affected package to the fixed version on its release line (@vendure/core 3.6.5), 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 [!IMPORTANT] Only instances running on the SQLite driver (better-sqlite3) are affected; SQLite is usually used in development/testing backend, so production deployments on PostgreSQL or MySQL/MariaDB are unaffected. The StringOperators.regex filter exposed on the public Shop GraphQL API is evaluated inside the Node.js event loop via a synchronous SQLite user-defined function (UDF). Supplying a catastrophically backtracking pattern blocks the entire event loop, causing a complete denial of service with no authentication required. --- Details Vendure registers a JavaScript UDF so that SQLite can handle the REGEXP operator: packages/core/src/service/helpers/list-query-builder/list-query-builder.ts lines 917–931 The pattern argument is the raw value of StringOperators.regex submitted by the caller. No length limit, timeout, or safe-regex validation is applied before constructing new RegExp(pattern). packages/core/src/service/helpers/list-query-builder/parse-filter-params.ts lines…

# Patch Next advisory brief: CVE-2026-63460 Advisory: Vendure: Unauthenticated ReDoS via `regex` filter on SQLite backends IDs: CVE-2026-63460, GHSA-jgm3-qmp2-c4p7 Record: https://patchnext.com/advisories/cve-2026-63460 (revision 3, source checked 26 Oct 2026, 13:02 UTC) Inventory: none attached. This brief comes from a public page and does not say whether any deployment is affected. Severity: High (CVSS 7.5) Exploitation: no confirmed exploitation recorded. Patch Next confirms exploitation only from CISA KEV. Vendor response: Vendor fix available; fixed versions by package: @vendure/core 3.6.5. A vendor fix does not mean a deployment is fixed. ## Affected components - npm @vendure/core: affected <= 3.6.4; fixed in 3.6.5 ## Suggested inspection (read-only) - `npm ls @vendure/core --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 @vendure/core. - 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://github.com/advisories/GHSA-jgm3-qmp2-c4p7 (GitHub-reviewed advisory GHSA-jgm3-qmp2-c4p7 lists affected ranges: npm @vendure/core >=0 <=3.6.4) - Verified: https://osv.dev/vulnerability/GHSA-jgm3-qmp2-c4p7 (OSV record GHSA-jgm3-qmp2-c4p7 lists affected ranges: npm @vendure/core >=0 <3.6.5 (fixed)) Commands are suggestions: review each one before running it.
