Summary

Craft CMS 4.0.0 before 4.18.9 and 5.0.0 before 5.11.2 is affected. Arguments on GraphQL eager-loadable nodes that are absent from the public schema are copied into query criteria without cleansing, which causes SQL injection (CWE-89). An unauthenticated remote attacker can inject SQL expressions and read arbitrary database content, including password hashes and session tokens.
