## Overview

Spring for GraphQL applications are vulnerable to Unsafe Deserialization when processing paginated GraphQL queries. An attacker can craft a malicious GraphQL request that can lead to Remote Code Execution when the application exposes a paginated (Connection) field and the classpath contains specific classes that can be leveraged during deserialization.

Affected versions:
Spring for GraphQL 2.0.0 through 2.0.3; 1.4.0 through 1.4.5; 1.3.0 through 1.3.8.

## Affected

- `spring_for_graphql >= 1.3.0, < 1.3.9`
- `spring_for_graphql >= 1.4.0, < 1.4.5.1`
- `spring_for_graphql >= 2.0.0, < 2.0.3.1`

## Remediation

Upgrade past the affected range:

- `spring_for_graphql 2.0.3.1`
