QID 150724: GraphQL Detected

GraphQL is an open-source language used for querying and managing APIs, along with a server-side runtime designed specifically for efficiently handling these queries on an application's data. It has gained popularity as a modern alternative to conventional REST or SOAP APIs due to its flexibility and optimized approach to retrieving data.

The scanner identified the presence of GraphQL within the target application.

QID Detection Logic:
This QID sends a HTTP POST request to GraphQL endpoints with specially crafted payload data and based on the response confirms the presence of GraphQL running on the target application.

Malicious actors can potentially exploit this identified GraphQL endpoint as a staging ground for launching attacks on the target application.

Solution

To secure GraphQL endpoints, implement authentication, authorization, input validation, rate limiting, error handling and monitoring while keeping dependencies up-to-date and disabling introspection in production environment.
