SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

GraphQL-based APIs often suffer from injection vulnerabilities that can expose data, bypass authorization, or disrupt backend services. This Skill provides practical guidance to discover, characterize, and demonstrate GraphQL injection techniques across queries, mutations, introspection, and batch requests.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Injection coverage: Test for query parameter injection, mutation argument injection, introspection abuse, and batch/complex queries.
  • Detection & verification: Techniques to verify responses and confirm exploitable weaknesses in GraphQL endpoints.
  • Use Case: Security teams can assess a GraphQL API used by a web application to identify insecure resolvers or missing authorization.

Quick Start

Provide a GraphQL endpoint URL and run a test query with a basic injection payload to observe error handling and responses.

FAQPage Schema
How do I test a GraphQL API for injection vulnerabilities?

To test a GraphQL API for injection vulnerabilities, provide the endpoint URL and run test queries with basic injection payloads to observe error handling and verify exploitable weaknesses across queries, mutations, and batch requests.

What types of GraphQL injection attacks can be identified during a pentest?

GraphQL injection attacks identifiable during a pentest include query parameter injection, mutation argument injection, introspection abuse, and batch or complex query requests that can expose data or disrupt backend services.

Can I use Python to automate GraphQL security testing?

Yes, you can use Python and the requests library to automate GraphQL security testing by sending crafted queries, mutations, and batch requests to API endpoints to verify responses and confirm exploitable weaknesses.

Does GraphQL introspection abuse lead to data exposure?

Yes, GraphQL introspection abuse leads to data exposure by allowing attackers to query the schema directly, revealing underlying data structures, types, and resolver configurations that can be exploited for further injection attacks.

Why do GraphQL batch requests create security testing challenges?

GraphQL batch requests create security testing challenges because they allow multiple queries in a single HTTP request, enabling attackers to bypass rate limits and perform complex injection attacks that are harder to detect.

Do I need a controlled environment to run GraphQL injection tests?

Yes, you need a controlled environment to run GraphQL injection tests safely, ensuring that payload delivery and vulnerability verification do not disrupt production backend services or expose sensitive data.
