Real-World Exposure
datasette-graphqlReal-time download stats are indexed for npm and PyPI packages. This vulnerability affects PyPI packages — download data is not available via public APIs for these ecosystems.
Description
Impact
When running against a Datasette instance with private databases, datasette-graphql would expose the schema of those database tables - but not the table contents.
Patches
Patched in version 1.2.
Workarounds
This issue is only present if a Datasette instance that includes private databases and has the datasette-graphql plugin installed is available on the public internet. Uninstalling the datasette-graphql plugin or preventing public access to the instance can workaround this issue.

Detection & mitigation playbook
Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for datasette-graphql, including transitive dependencies — a direct dependency you never call can still pull in a vulnerable version.
Fix
Update datasette-graphql to 1.2 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-74hv-qjjq-h7g5 is resolved across your whole dependency graph.
Workarounds
If you can't upgrade right away: gate or disable the affected feature, validate untrusted input at the boundary, and avoid passing attacker-controlled data into the vulnerable path. O3's runtime protection blocks exploitation in production as an interim safeguard until the upgrade lands.
