AI Threat Summary
CVE-2026-75507 is a high-severity vulnerability with a CVSS score of 7.5 affecting the target software. Authentication can be bypassed allowing unauthenticated access. Threat hunters should monitor for exploit attempts and apply vendor patches immediately.
Description
GraphQL-core is a Python port of the GraphQL.js reference implementation. From 3.0.0 until 3.2.12 and 3.3.0rc1, the OverlappingFieldsCanBeMerged rule in specified_rules repeatedly compares fields that share response names and recursively re-compares flattened inline fragments during the validation phase. The prior named-fragment memoization does not cover this path, so nested repeated inline fragments can drive quadratic and worst-case O(n²·m²) CPU work before any resolver or AST-based depth or complexity control runs. An unauthenticated remote attacker can submit a shallow, highly compressible GraphQL query that pins a worker process and can saturate a multi-worker service. This issue is fixed in versions 3.2.12 and 3.3.0rc1.

Attacker identifies authentication endpoint and tests for bypass conditions
Attacker exploits CVE-2026-75507 authentication flaw to gain unauthorized access without valid credentials
Attacker enumerates accessible resources, users, and configurations
Attacker exfiltrates sensitive data accessible without proper authorization
