Bumps apollo-server-express from 2.9.7 to 2.16.0. This update includes a security fix.

Vulnerabilities fixed

Sourced from The GitHub Security Advisory Database.

Introspection in schema validation in Apollo Server We encourage all users of Apollo Server to read this advisory in its entirety to understand the impact. The Resolution section contains details on patched versions.

Impact

If subscriptions: false is passed to the ApolloServer constructor options, there is no impact. If implementors were not expecting validation rules to be enforced on the WebSocket subscriptions transport and are unconcerned about introspection being enabled on the WebSocket subscriptions transport (or were not expecting that), then this advisory is not applicable. If introspection: true is passed to the ApolloServer constructor options, the impact is limited to user-provided validation rules (i.e., using validationRules) since there would be no expectation that introspection was disabled.

The enforcement of user-provided validation rules on the HTTP transport is working as intended and is unaffected by this advisory. Similarly, disabling introspection on the HTTP transport is working as intended and is unaffected by this advisory.

> Note: Unless subscriptions: false is explicitly passed to the constructor parameters of new ApolloServer({ ... }), subscriptions are enabled by default, whether or not there is a Subscription type present in the schema. As an alternative to upgrading to a patched version, see the Workarounds section below to disable subscriptions if it is not necessary.

In cases where subscriptions: false is not explicitly set, the subscription server is impacted since validation rules which are enforced on the main request pipeline within Apollo Server were not being passed to the SubscriptionServer.create invocation (seen here, prior to the patch).

The omitted validation rules for the subscription server include any validationRules passed by implementors to the ApolloServer constructor which were expected to be enforced on the subscriptions WebSocket endpoint. Additionally, because an internal NoIntrospection validation rule is used to disable introspection, it would have been possible to introspect a server on the WebSocket endpoint that the SubscriptionServer creates even though it was not possible on other transports (e.g. HTTP).

The severity of risk depends on whether sensitive information is being stored in the schema itself. The contents of schema descriptions, or secrets which might be revealed by the names of types or field names within those types, will determine the risk to individual implementors.

Affected packages

The bug existed in apollo-server-core versions prior to version 2.14.2, however, this means all integration packages (e.g., apollo-server-express, etc.) prior to version 2.14.2 which depend on apollo-server-core for their subscriptions support are affected. This includes the apollo-server package that automatically provides an Express server.

Affected versions: < 2.14.2

Changelog

Sourced from apollo-server-express's changelog.

v2.16.0

• apollo-server-fastify: Pass Fastify's request and reply objects into the context function, which previously had been receiving nothing. [Issue #3156](apollographql/apollo-server#3156) [PR #3895(apollographql/apollo-server#3895)
• apollo-server-lamdbda: Automatically decode payloads which are Base64-encoded when the isBase64Encoded boolean is present on Lambda event payloads. [PR #4311](apollographql/apollo-server#4311)

v2.15.1

• The default branch of the repository has been changed to main. As this changed a number of references in the repository's package.json and README.md files (e.g., for badges, links, etc.), this necessitates a release to publish those changes to npm. [PR #4302](apollographql/apollo-server#4302)

v2.15.0

• apollo-engine-reporting: Added a reportTiming API to allow trace reporting to be enabled or disabled on a per request basis. The option takes either a boolean or a predicate function that takes a GraphQLRequestContextDidResolveOperation or GraphQLRequestContextDidEncounterErrors and returns a boolean. If the boolean is false the request will not be instrumented for tracing and no trace will be sent to Apollo Graph Manager. The default is true so all traces will get instrumented and sent, which is the same as the previous default behavior. [PR #3918](apollographql/apollo-server#3918)
• apollo-engine-reporting: Removed GraphQLServerOptions.reporting. It isn't known whether a trace will be reported at the beginning of the request because of the above change. We believe this field was only used internally within Apollo Server; let us know if this is a problem and we can suggest alternatives. Additionally, the field requestContext.metrics.captureTraces is now initialized later in the request pipeline. [PR #3918](apollographql/apollo-server#3918)
• apollo-engine-reporting: Make Apollo Server throw if schema reporting is enabled for a gateway or federated service. [PR #4246](apollographql/apollo-server#4246)
• apollo-engine-reporting: Remove the experimental_ prefix from schema reporting options, and specifically rename experimental_schemaReporting option name to reportSchema. (The old option names remain functional, but are deprecated.) [PR #4236](apollographql/apollo-server#4236)

v2.14.5

• apollo-engine-reporting: Make Apollo Server throw if schema reporting is enabled for a gateway or federated service. [PR #4246](apollographql/apollo-server#4246)

v2.14.4

• apollo-engine-reporting: Add environment variable APOLLO_SCHEMA_REPORTING that can enable schema reporting. If experimental__schemaReporting is set it will override the environment variable. [PR #4206](apollographql/apollo-server#4206)
• apollo-engine-reporting: The schema reporting URL has been changed to use the new dedicated sub-domain https://edge-server-reporting.api.apollographql.com. [PR #4232](apollographql/apollo-server#4232)
• apollo-server-core: Though Apollo Server is not affected due to the way it is integrated, in response to an upstream security advisory for GraphQL Playground we have published the same patch on our @apollographql/graphql-playground-html fork and bumped Apollo Server to use it. Again, this was done out of an abundance of caution since the way that Apollo Server utilizes renderPlaygroundPage is not vulnerable as it does not allow per-request Playground configuration that could allow interpolation of user-input. [PR #4231](apollographql/apollo-server#4231)

v2.14.3

• This release only includes patch updates to dependencies.

v2.14.2

Note: This release is is related to a GitHub Security Advisory published by the Apollo Server team. Please read the attached advisory to understand the impact.

• ️ SECURITY: Pass all schema validation rules to the subscription server, including validation rules that restrict introspection when introspection is meant to be disabled. Read the full GitHub Security Advisory for details.

v2.14.1

See complete versioning details.

• apollo-server-testing: Ensure that user-provided context is cloned when using createTestClient, per the instructions in the intergration testing section of the Apollo Server documentation. [Issue #4170](apollographql/apollo-server#4170) [PR #4175](apollographql/apollo-server#4175)

v2.14.0

See complete versioning details.

• apollo-server-core / apollo-server-plugin-base: Add support for willResolveField and corresponding end-handler within executionDidStart. This brings the remaining bit of functionality that was previously only available from graphql-extensions to the new plugin API. The graphql-extensions API (which was never documented) will be deprecated in Apollo Server 3.x. To see the documentation for the request pipeline API, see its documentation. For more details, see the attached PR. [PR #3988](apollographql/apollo-server#3988)
• apollo-server-core: Deprecate graphql-extensions. All internal usages of the graphql-extensions API have been migrated to the request pipeline plugin API. For any implementor-supplied extensions, a deprecation warning will be printed once per-extension, per-server-startup, notifying of the intention to deprecate. Extensions should migrate to the plugin API, which is outlined in its documentation. [PR #4135](apollographql/apollo-server#4135)
• apollo-engine-reporting: Currently only for non-federated graphs. Added an experimental schema reporting option,
