What is CVE-2025-64173?

A vulnerability in Apollo Router Core, an advanced graph routing solution written in Rust, exposes critical data to unauthenticated queries. This flaw arises in versions prior to 1.61.12 and between 2.0.0-alpha.0 and 2.8.1-rc.0, where incorrect handling of access control directives on interface types and fields allows unauthorized access to data that is supposed to be restricted. Customers using directives like @authenticated, @requiresScopes, or @policy on polymorphic types may find their configurations inconsistently enforced, leaving sensitive data vulnerable. The issue is resolved in the latest versions, enhancing the security framework for robust application protection.

Affected Version(s)

router < 1.61.12 < 1.61.12

router >= 2.8.1-rc.0, < 2.8.1 < 2.8.1-rc.0, 2.8.1
