How to fix?

Upgrade graphql-shield to version 6.0.6 or higher.

Overview

graphql-shield is a package that adds a permission layer for GraphQL applications.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Authorization Bypass. The rule caching option no_cache relies on keys generated by cryptographically insecure functions, which may cause rules to be incorrectly cached. This allows attackers to access information they should not have access to in case of a key collision.
