GraphQL Under Fire: Advanced API Pentesting Techniques for Modern Web Stacks

GraphQL APIs offer flexibility but expose risks like access control flaws, DoS attacks, and injections. In my latest in-depth exploration, uncover schema introspection for recon, BOLA exploits with cURL examples and Burp workflows, SQL/NoSQL injections, and command injection like Chaos Mesh’s RCE issues. Test for DoS via complex queries (with caution—often out of scope). Tools such as GraphQL Voyager, InQL, and GraphQLMap streamline testing. Defenses include disabling introspection, granular auth, and query limits. Vital for pentesters in modern stacks.
