# Performing GraphQL Security Assessment
## When to Use
- During authorized penetration tests when the target application uses a GraphQL API
- When assessing single-page applications (React, Vue, Angular) that communicate via GraphQL
- For evaluating mobile app backends that expose GraphQL endpoints
- When testing microservice architectures with a GraphQL gateway or federation
- During bug bounty programs targeting GraphQL-based APIs
### How to CONFIRM a Hit (avoid false negatives)
- **Positive signal**: a query/mutation **actually returns sensitive data** (or causes a measurable effect) under the access level being tested — confirm the data in the response body, not just a `200` or the existence of a field.
- Schema knowledge alone is not impact; tie every finding to a query that demonstrably succeeds.
