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?

GraphQL IDE

What an attacker could do

An exposed GraphiQL IDE gives attackers an interactive console to explore the schema and run arbitrary queries and mutations against the live API.

How to defend it

Disable the GraphiQL interface entirely in production environments, or restrict it to authenticated internal users behind a VPN or IP allowlist.
