cruddl vulnerable to ArangoDB Query Language (AQL) injection through flexSearch
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.
