Impact The Apollo Router is a configurable, high-performance graph router written in Rust to run a federated supergraph that uses Apollo Federation. Affected versions are subject to a Denial-of-Service (DoS) type vulnerability which causes the Router to panic and terminate when a multi-part response is sent. When users send queries to the router that uses the @defer or Subscriptions, the Router will panic. To be vulnerable, users of Router must have a coprocessor with coprocessor.supergraph.response configured in their router.yaml and also to support either @defer or Subscriptions.

Patches Router version 1.33.0 has a fix for this vulnerability. https://github.com/apollographql/router/pull/4014 fixes the issue.

Workarounds For affected versions, avoid using the coprocessor supergraph response: yml do not use this stage in your coprocessor configuration coprocessor: supergraph: response:

Or you can disable defer and subscriptions support: yml disable defer and subscriptions: supergraph: defersupport: false # enabled by default subscription: enabled: false # disabled by default and continue to use the coprocessor supergraph response.
