Security Researcher Detected: You might have ended up here because your site vulnerability scanner found something interesting. Hi! I'm a security engineer and I'm having a good time interacting with the people and bots that are interested in information security.

You will hopefully find this site is well-secured and I'm not interested in being hacked. I'm interested in learning about how people try to hack me, though.

What is this endpoint?

api/graphql

GraphQL API Endpoint

What an attacker could do

This GraphQL API path exposes the same risks of schema enumeration and resource-exhausting queries, and may bypass controls applied only to the root /graphql route.

How to defend it

Apply identical hardening to all GraphQL routes - disable introspection, set depth and complexity limits, and enforce authentication and persisted-query allowlists consistently.
