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

GraphQL API Endpoint

What an attacker could do

An exposed GraphQL endpoint with introspection enabled lets attackers map the entire schema, then craft deeply nested or batched queries to exfiltrate data or cause denial of service.

How to defend it

Disable introspection in production, enforce query depth/complexity limits and cost analysis, and require authentication plus field-level authorization on all resolvers.
