      "value": "GraphQL Playground is a GraphQL IDE for development of graphQL focused applications. All versions of graphql-playground-react older than graphql-playground-react@1.7.28 are vulnerable to compromised HTTP schema introspection responses or schema prop values with malicious GraphQL type names, exposing a dynamic XSS attack surface that can allow code injection on operation autocomplete. In order for the attack to take place, the user must load a malicious schema in graphql-playground. There are several ways this can occur, including by specifying the URL to a malicious schema in the endpoint query parameter. If a user clicks on a link to a GraphQL Playground installation that specifies a malicious server, arbitrary JavaScript can run in the user's browser, which can be used to exfiltrate user credentials or other harmful goals. If you are using graphql-playground-react directly in your client app, upgrade to version 1.7.28 or later."

Para que el ataque tenga lugar, el usuario debe cargar un esquema malicioso en graphql-playground. Se presentan varias maneras de que esto ocurra, incluyendo la especificación de la URL a un esquema malicioso en el parámetro de consulta del endpoint. Si un usuario hace clic en un enlace a una instalación de GraphQL Playground que especifica un servidor malicioso, puede ejecutarse un JavaScript arbitrario en el navegador del usuario, que puede ser usado para exfiltrar credenciales de usuario u otros objetivos dañinos. Si es usado graphql-playground-react directamente en su aplicación cliente, actualice a la versión 1.7.28 o posterior"
