Summary
@asymmetric-effort/specifyjs: GraphQL gql tag allows metacharacter injection
Details

Finding

Location: core/src/client/graphql.ts:66-80

The gql template tag function warned about interpolated values containing GraphQL metacharacters ({}():) but still concatenated them into the query string, enabling potential GraphQL injection.

Status

Fixed in v0.2.136 — The gql function now throws an error when metacharacters are detected in interpolated values, forcing developers to use the variables parameter.
