CVE-2026-92684 · Severity: info · Published 2026-11-10

Neo4j's GraphQL library is a middleware that enforces data access controls on database queries. An authentication bypass flaw allows unauthenticated attackers to read sensitive data through aggregation queries, circumventing field-level protection rules that would normally block direct access. Attackers can extract protected database values by querying aggregates instead of individual fields.

Technologies: [Neo4j @Neo4j/Graphql](https://junglewise.ai/threats/technologies/neo4j-graphql). Vendors: [Neo4j](https://junglewise.ai/threats/vendors/neo4j).

## How to fix

- Fixed in 5.12.17, 7.6.8

Restrict access to aggregation queries over protected data until the library is upgraded to a patched version.

## Technical details

The @neo4j/graphql library fails to enforce field-level @authentication decorators on string aggregates and connection-root aggregates. String aggregates return stored values verbatim without checking authentication, and connection-root aggregates bypass entity AGGREGATE authentication entirely. This is a network-accessible, unauthenticated attack requiring no user interaction.

## Affected products

- Neo4j @neo4j/graphql 5.0.0 before 5.12.17; 7.0.0 before 7.6.8
