CRITICALcruddl vulnerable to ArangoDB Query Language (AQL) injection through flexSearch
EPSS Exploitation Probability
EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System) is a daily probability model maintained by FIRST.org. It estimates the likelihood a CVE will be exploited in production environments within the next 30 days, derived from real-world threat intelligence signals.
Blast Radius
Weekly download volume for affected packages — a proxy for how broadly this vulnerability is deployed.
cruddlnpmDescription
Impact
If a vunerable version of cruddl is used to generate a schema that uses @flexSearchFulltext, users of that schema may be able to inject arbitrary AQL queries that will be forwarded to and executed by ArangoDB.
Schemas that do not use @flexSearchFulltext are not affected.
The attacker needs to have READ permission to at least one root entity type that has @flexSearchFulltext enabled.
Patches
The issue has been fixed in version 3.0.2 and in version 2.7.0 of cruddl.
Workarounds
Users can temporarily remove @flexSearchFulltext from their schemas before they can update cruddl.

Affected Packages
| Ecosystem | Package | Vulnerable range | Fix |
|---|---|---|---|
| 📦npm | cruddl | ≥ 3.0.0&&< 3.0.2 | 3.0.2 |

Detection & mitigation playbook
Open-source dependencyDetect
Scan your dependency tree (package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements.txt, go.sum, etc.) for cruddl. O3's reachability analysis confirms whether the vulnerable code path is actually invoked in your application, so you act on real exposure instead of every transitive match.
Fix
Update cruddl to 3.0.2 or later, then make sure no transitive (indirect) dependency still pins the vulnerable range — O3 confirms GHSA-qm4w-4995-vg7f 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.
How O3 protects you
O3 pinpoints whether GHSA-qm4w-4995-vg7f is reachable in your code and exactly where to fix it, then blocks exploitation in production at runtime until the patched version is deployed.
Tailored to GHSA-qm4w-4995-vg7f. Runtime protection reduces exposure until a permanent patch is applied and verified — it complements patching, it doesn't replace it.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is GHSA-qm4w-4995-vg7f in your dependencies?
O3 detects GHSA-qm4w-4995-vg7f across npm dependencies and uses function-level reachability to confirm whether the vulnerable code path is actually reachable — not just present. No false positives.
