| Concept | Description |
|---|---|
| Introspection | GraphQL feature that exposes the full schema, types, fields, and mutations |
| Query Depth | The nesting level of a GraphQL query; deep queries can cause DoS |
| Query Complexity | A score calculated from the cost of resolving each field in a query |
| Batching | Sending multiple queries in a single HTTP request for parallel execution |
| Aliases | GraphQL feature allowing the same field to be queried multiple times with different arguments |
| Fragments | Reusable field selections that can cause circular references if not validated |
| N+1 Problem | Unoptimized resolvers causing exponential database queries for nested fields |
| Field-level Authorization | Access control applied to individual fields rather than entire types |
| Tool | Purpose |
|---|---|
| InQL (Burp Extension) | GraphQL introspection scanner and query generator for Burp Suite |
| GraphQL Voyager | Interactive schema visualization tool |
| Altair GraphQL Client | Desktop GraphQL IDE for crafting and testing queries |
| clairvoyance | Schema enumeration when introspection is disabled |
| graphql-cop | GraphQL security auditing tool (pip install graphql-cop) |
| BatchQL | GraphQL batching attack tool for rate limit bypass |
Introspection is enabled in production, revealing internal types like AdminSettings, InternalUser, and mutations like deleteAllUsers. This provides a complete roadmap for further attacks.
The User type exposes passwordHash, ssn, and internalNotes fields. While the frontend only queries name and email, any authenticated user can request sensitive fields directly.
The GraphQL endpoint accepts batch queries. By sending 1000 login mutation attempts in a single HTTP request, an attacker bypasses IP-based rate limiting that only counts HTTP requests.
A social network API allows querying friends { friends { friends { ... } } } up to unlimited depth. A 10-level nested query causes the server to process millions of database queries, resulting in denial of service.
## GraphQL Security Assessment Report
**Target**: https://target.example.com/graphql
**Engine**: Apollo Server 4.x
**Assessment Date**: 2024-01-15
### Findings Summary
| Finding | Severity | Status |
|---------|----------|--------|
| Introspection enabled in production | Medium | VULNERABLE |
| Missing field-level authorization | High | VULNERABLE |
| No query depth limit | High | VULNERABLE |
| Batch query rate limit bypass | High | VULNERABLE |
| GraphiQL IDE exposed | Low | VULNERABLE |
| SQL injection in user query | Critical | VULNERABLE |
| CSRF on mutations | Medium | PASS (custom header required) |
### Critical: SQL Injection via user Query
**Location**: `user(name: String)` query argument
**Payload**: `{ user(name: "' OR 1=1--") { id email role } }`
**Impact**: Full database read access via GraphQL interface
### High: Batch Authentication Bypass
**Location**: POST /graphql (array body)
**Payload**: Array of 100 login mutations in single request
**Impact**: Rate limiting bypassed; 100 password attempts per HTTP request
### Recommendation
1. Disable introspection in production environments
2. Implement field-level authorization on all sensitive fields
3. Set query depth limit (max 7-10 levels)
4. Set query complexity limit and cost analysis
5. Disable or rate-limit batch queries
6. Remove GraphiQL/Playground from production
7. Parameterize all database queries in resolvers
