GraphQL introspection enabled
Summary: PortSwigger Research describes GraphQL introspection as a feature that uses built-in queries to return information about a GraphQL schema, with customizable queries that let users specify the content and shape of the response. When enabled in production, it lets attackers see what operations are available in the API, along with potentially sensitive details such as type descriptions and private fields.
Why it matters: An attacker who can query your schema sees the full map of API operations, type descriptions, and private fields before sending a single crafted request, which turns reconnaissance into a lookup.
