Graphql Introspection Mode Enabled

Graphql Introspection Mode Enabled

GraphQL introspection mode vulnerability allows unauthorized access to schema details, potentially exposing sensitive data and increasing attack surface.

Security Misconfiguration (SM)

How this template works

APIs Selection

The API selection filters in this template use a regular expression to match URLs that contain the word "graphql". This ensures that the template is applied only to API endpoints that are related to GraphQL.

Execute request

The execute section of the template specifies a single request to be executed. The request modifies the URL by replacing any occurrence of "graphql" with "graphql". It also replaces the request body with a GraphQL introspection query.

Validation

The validation section checks if the response payload contains both the "data" field and the "__schema" field. This ensures that the response contains the expected GraphQL schema information.
