# Stack overflow on deeply nested GraphQL documents

Advisory record · `GHSA-34cw-x8g7-rcv5`

- **Identifiers:** `GHSA-34cw-x8g7-rcv5` · `RUSTSEC-2026-0416`
- **State:** Confirmed
- **Severity:** CVSS 7.5 High
- **Critical:** No
- **Published:** 28 Oct 2026
- **Updated:** 29 Oct 2026
- **Reviewed by a person:** No

Published by the GitHub Advisory Database at 28 Oct 2026, 12:00 UTC. agentprime has not analysed this yet, so whether it affects any app is not known.

## Affected packages

- `juniper` (crates.io): affected `>=0.0.0-0, <0.17.2`; fixed in `0.17.2`

## Machine-written summary

Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.

> Juniper versions before 0.17.2 are vulnerable to a stack overflow when parsing, validating, or executing deeply nested GraphQL documents, such as deeply nested selection sets or long chains of fragment spreads. An unauthenticated attacker can send one such request to crash the whole process, which drops all other requests in progress. Upgrade to juniper 0.17.2, which limits nesting depth to 64 levels and document size to 15,000 tokens by default.

## Check whether this affects you

A Match means an installed version is in the affected range above. Most don’t affect the app; agentprime hasn’t analysed this one yet.

- With the agentprime MCP server (<https://api.agentprime.io/mcp>), ask your agent to check the project: `check_lockfile` sends a lockfile, `check_packages` a list of installed packages, and both return the Matches and the upgrades that clear them. `get_advisory` returns this record. Setup: <https://agentprime.io/mcp.md>
- In a browser: <https://agentprime.io/check/> reads your lockfile in the browser, never uploading it.
- Whether it touches your code, with file and line: the Claude Code plugin, <https://agentprime.io/plugin.md>
- As JSON: <https://api.agentprime.io/v1/advisories/GHSA-34cw-x8g7-rcv5>, or `POST https://api.agentprime.io/v1/match` with your packages (<https://agentprime.io/api.md>)
