Keystone: `graphql.maxTake` bypass with negative `take`

Collected exploitation and prediction evidence

CISA KEV is observed exploitation evidence. FIRST EPSS is a dated prediction of exploitation in the next 30 days. Missing scores are unknown. This collector requests predictions only for explicit CVE aliases in the public NuGet archive; Microsoft release views retain their existing prediction scope.

No collected risk observation for these identifiers. This does not establish absence of exploitation or a zero probability.

Published

Keystone is a content management system for Node.js. Prior to 6.5.3, the findMany resolver in packages/core/src/lib/core/queries/resolvers.ts compares the signed take argument directly with graphql.maxTake, allowing a remote unauthenticated GraphQL client to provide a negative take value whose magnitude exceeds the configured bound. The bypass also applies to relationship queries and can return more records than the developer intended, potentially exhausting service resources. This issue is fixed in version 6.5.3.

# Summary The value of `graphql.maxTake` can be bypassed by providing a negative input. This can be used to exceed the developer's intended `graphql.maxTake` value, allowing queries to return results in excess of the `graphql.maxTake` value set. # Impact This affects any project relying on `graphql.maxTake` to bound the number of items returned per query. # Patches This issue has been patched in `@keystone-6/core` version `6.5.3`. If you cannot patch, you can workaround this by restricting `take` input values in your GraphQL queries to the bounded value, or by blocking negative values. # Credit This issue was found by [Haxset's](https://haxset.com) Security Scanner and validated by their team.
