Summary

The Spring GraphQL annotation detection mechanism for @Controller data fetchers may not correctly resolve annotations on methods within type hierarchies. This can be an issue if such annotations are used for authorization decisions. When all conditions are met, security annotations can be ignored at runtime.

Affected versions: Spring for GraphQL 2.0.0 through 2.0.3; 1.4.0 through 1.4.5; 1.3.0 through 1.3.8; 1.0.0 through 1.0.6.

Patch / fix

  • maven org.springframework.graphql:spring-graphql 1.4.6, 2.0.4
  • Spring Spring for GraphQL 1.0.7, 1.3.9, 1.4.5.1, 2.0.3.1
