In Part 2 of the Hacking GraphQL series, we discussed the GraphQL DoS attack. In Part 3, we’re going to try to exploit the SQLi vulnerability, included in the OWASP Top Ten Web Application Security Risks. In this blog post, we will use the same setup as Part 1 of the series i.e., GraphQL Security Labs. A...
In part 1 of the Hacking GraphQL series, we discussed about the basics of GraphQL. In part 2 of this series, we’re going to try the DoS attack vector and see how adversaries can leverage them. In this post, we are going to use the same setup as part 1 of the series i.e. GraphQL...
In this blog post, we are going to use a publicly available application that uses a vulnerable GraphQL implementation, developed by . GraphQL is quickly becoming the alternative to REST API, being able to request a specified set of data across multiple resources within a single request. But with great power come great security risks....
