CVE-2025-64530
@apollo/composition has Improper Enforcement of Access Control on Interface Types and Fields
Description
Apollo Federation is an architecture for declaratively composing APIs into a unified graph. A vulnerability in versions of Apollo Federation's composition logic prior to 2.9.5, 2.10.4, 2.11.5, and 2.12.1 allowed some queries to Apollo Router to improperly bypass access controls on types/fields. Apollo Federation incorrectly allowed user-defined access control directives on interface types/fields, which could be bypassed by instead querying the implementing object types/fields in Apollo Router via inline fragments, for example. A fix to versions 2.9.5, 2.10.4, 2.11.5, and 2.12.1 of composition logic in Federation now disallows interfaces types and fields to contain user-defined access control directives. Some workarounds are available. Users of Apollo Rover with an unpatched composition version or are using the Apollo Studio build pipeline with Federation version 2.8 or below should manually copy the access control requirements on interface types/fields to each implementing object type/field where appropriate. Do not remove those access control requirements from the interface types/fields, as unpatched Apollo Composition will not automatically generate them in the supergraph schema. Customers not using Apollo Router access control features (`@authenticated`, `@requiresScopes`, or `@policy` directives) or not specifying access control requirements on interface types/fields are not affected and do not need to take action.

Solution
- Update Apollo Federation to version 2.9.5 or later.
- Manually copy access controls to implementing types if using older versions.
- Apply access control requirements to implementing types if needed.
- Ensure interfaces do not contain user-defined access control directives.

Action Type Old Value New Value Added Translation Title: Federation de apollographql, Description: Apollo Federation es una arquitectura para componer APIs de forma declarativa en un grafo unificado. Una vulnerabilidad en versiones de la lógica de composición de Apollo Federation anteriores a 2.9.5, 2.10.4, 2.11.5 y 2.12.1 permitió que algunas consultas a Apollo Router eludieran indebidamente los controles de acceso en tipos/campos. Apollo Federation permitió incorrectamente directivas de control de acceso definidas por el usuario en tipos/campos de interfaz, lo que podría eludirse consultando en su lugar los tipos/campos de objeto implementadores en Apollo Router a través de fragmentos en línea, por ejemplo. Una corrección en las versiones 2.9.5, 2.10.4, 2.11.5 y 2.12.1 de la lógica de composición en Federation ahora prohíbe que los tipos y campos de interfaz contengan directivas de control de acceso definidas por el usuario. Algunas soluciones alternativas están disponibles. Los usuarios de Apollo Rover con una versión de composición sin parchear o que estén utilizando el pipeline de compilación de Apollo Studio con Federation versión 2.8 o inferior deben copiar manualmente los requisitos de control de acceso en los tipos/campos de interfaz a cada tipo/campo de objeto implementador cuando sea apropiado. No elimine esos requisitos de control de acceso de los tipos/campos de interfaz, ya que Apollo Composition sin parchear no los generará automáticamente en el esquema del supergrafo. Los clientes que no utilicen las características de control de acceso de Apollo Router (directivas '@authenticated', '@requiresScopes' o '@policy') o que no especifiquen requisitos de control de acceso en tipos/campos de interfaz no se ven afectados y no necesitan tomar ninguna medida. -
