performing-graphql-introspection-attack
Performs GraphQL introspection attacks that extract the full API schema (types, queries, mutations, subscriptions, field definitions), map the attack surface, test query depth/complexity limits, and exploit GraphQL-specific weaknesses such as batching attacks, alias-based brute force, and nested query DoS. Use for GraphQL security testing, schema enumeration, or GraphQL API penetration testing.

# Performing GraphQL Introspection Attack
## When to Use
- Testing GraphQL endpoints for exposed introspection that reveals the complete API schema
- Mapping the attack surface of a GraphQL API to identify sensitive queries, mutations, and types
- Testing for GraphQL-specific vulnerabilities including query depth abuse, batching attacks, and field-level authorization
- Assessing GraphQL implementations where introspection is disabled but schema can be reconstructed through error messages
- Evaluating defenses against resource exhaustion through deeply nested or complex GraphQL queries
**Do not use** without written authorization. Schema extraction and query abuse testing can impact service availability.
## Prerequisites
- Written authorization specifying the GraphQL endpoint and testing scope
