Machine-written summary

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

Dgraph Alpha (github.com/dgraph-io/dgraph/v25) before 25.3.2 exposes its process command line, including the configured admin token, through an unauthenticated /debug/pprof/cmdline endpoint. An attacker with network access to the Alpha HTTP port can read the token and reuse it to reach admin-only endpoints. Upgrade to 25.3.2. The github.com/dgraph-io/dgraph/v24 (up to 24.1.7) and github.com/dgraph-io/dgraph (up to 1.2.8) packages are also affected, with no fixed version listed.
