strawberry-graphql — Vulnerabilities & Security Advisories 4

Strawberry-GraphQL is a Python library for implementing GraphQL APIs, primarily used for building efficient query endpoints. Historically, it has faced vulnerabilities including remote code execution (RCE) through unsafe deserialization, cross-site scripting (XSS) from improper output encoding, and privilege escalation via insufficient access controls. The library has accumulated four CVEs, highlighting risks in input validation and secure defaults. Notable security characteristics include its reliance on proper sanitization of user inputs and complex query handling, which can introduce attack surfaces if misconfigured. Major incidents often stem from improper implementation rather than core flaws, emphasizing the need for secure coding practices when using this GraphQL implementation.
