Graphql Field Suggestions Enabled

Graphql Field Suggestions Enabled

GraphQL field suggestions provide auto-complete suggestions for available fields, enabling attackers to gain insights into data structures, potentially leading to data exposure and targeted attacks on the API.

Security Misconfiguration (SM)

"The 'Graphql Field Suggestions Enabled' test focuses on identifying a security misconfiguration in the GraphQL implementation. By enabling GraphQL field suggestions, an attacker can retrieve the GraphQL schema, exposing critical information. This misconfiguration falls under the Security Misconfiguration (SM) category, with a severity level of HIGH. The test specifically targets APIs with URLs containing 'graphql' using regular expression filtering." "The test executes a single request, modifying the URL to ensure it includes 'graphql.' Additionally, it replaces the request body with a GraphQL introspection query to retrieve schema details. The response payload is then validated to check if it contains either the phrases 'Did you mean' or 'Expected value of type.'" "Tags associated with this test include Business logic, OWASP top 10, and HackerOne top 10. For more information, reference the provided link on why disabling GraphQL introspection in production is recommended.""

Impact of the vulnerability

Impact of the vulnerability

Enabling GraphQL field suggestions exposes the GraphQL schema, allowing attackers to gain insight into the API structure, potentially leading to targeted attacks and unauthorized access to sensitive data.

Enabling GraphQL field suggestions exposes the GraphQL schema, allowing attackers to gain insight into the API structure, potentially leading to targeted attacks and unauthorized access to sensitive data.

How this template works

APIs Selection

The template uses a regular expression filter to select APIs with URLs containing the word "graphql". This ensures that only relevant APIs are targeted for the security test.

Execute request

The template executes a single request by modifying the URL to include "graphql" and replaces the request body with a GraphQL introspection query. This query retrieves schema details from the API.

Validation

The template validates the response payload to check if it contains either the phrases "Did you mean" or "Expected value of type". If either of these phrases is present, it indicates a potential security misconfiguration in the GraphQL implementation.
