GraphQL endpoint found
Summary: PortSwigger Research describes a Burp Scanner finding that a GraphQL endpoint is publicly reachable, noting that GraphQL servers unlike REST APIs operate on a single endpoint where the message body determines how the server handles the request. The writeup states that a public endpoint is not necessarily a vulnerability by itself, but that any attack on the GraphQL server will use the discovered endpoint, for example by running an introspection query that could reveal the entire schema if successful.
Key Takeaway: A successful introspection query can expose the entire GraphQL schema, including field descriptions and the operations available in your API, so an endpoint left reachable in production hands attackers the map before they send a single malicious request.
