How to fix?
Upgrade graphql-code-generator to version 1.1.0 or higher.
Overview
graphql-code-generator is a tool that generates code out of your GraphQL schema.
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Insecure Default Configuration. The NODE_TLS_REJECT_UNAUTHORIZED environment variable is set to the value 0 in all versions of the package disabling certificate verification. This flaw can be exploited by a Man-in-the-middle (MiTM) attacker, resulting in an attacker able to view a victim's HTTPS traffic.
It should be noted that during the release of graphql-code-generator version 1.1.0, the CLI component was amended to be a separate package "@graphql-codegen/cli".
