graphql-introspection-abuse

graphql-introspection-abuse is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from ShulkwiSEC/bb-huge. It costs 64 tokens per session (1,390 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A security testing guide for exposed GraphQL introspection, a feature that can describe an API's available queries, mutations, types, and fields. It uses that schema information to assess the wider attack surface.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to identify GraphQL endpoints, request their schemas, review data relationships, and locate queries or mutations that need deeper security testing.
Why use it?
It helps replace guesswork with a map of the API and can reveal hidden operations or sensitive relationships. This makes it easier to spot authorization and mass-assignment risks during authorized reviews.

Written for no agent in particular: nothing here depends on one.

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.

Good fit Use it to identify GraphQL endpoints, request their schemas, review data relationships, and locate queries or mutations that need deeper security testing.

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-introspection-abuse scanned grade A with 2 findings 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 7d 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.

Sends data to an external URLlowData exfiltration

A POST to an outside endpoint may be telemetry or may be exfiltration; either way the mod talks to somewhere, and you should know where.

# curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"query":"\n query IntrospectionQuery {\n __schema {\n queryType { name }\n mutationType { name }\n subscriptionType { name }\n types {\n ...FullType\n }\n }\n }\n\n

Downgraded: this mod is about security review, or the phrase is quoted, so it is likely naming the pattern rather than instructing it.

Makes network callslowCapability

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

# curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"query":"\n query IntrospectionQuery {\n __schema {\n queryType { name }\n mutationType { name }\n subscriptionType { name }\n types {\n ...FullType\n }\n }\n }\n\n

GraphQL Introspection Abuse

When to Use

  • During the reconnaissance phase of evaluating web applications that utilize GraphQL.
  • To rapidly map the API surface area without relying on brute-force directory or endpoint enumeration.
  • To visualize the API schema and identify potentially vulnerable data relationships and administrative mutations.

Prerequisites

  • Authorized scope and target URLs from bug bounty program
  • Burp Suite Professional (or Community) configured with browser proxy
  • Familiarity with OWASP Top 10 and common web vulnerability classes
  • SecLists wordlists for fuzzing and enumeration

Workflow

Phase 1: Identifying GraphQL Endpoints

Common endpoints include /graphql, /api/graphql, /v1/graphql, /v2/graphql, and sometimes /gql.

Phase 2: Sending the Introspection Query

The standard GraphQL Introspection query requests the __schema field.

// Concept: Request schema metadata {
  "query": "query IntrospectionQuery { __schema { queryType { name } mutationType { name } types { ...FullType } } } fragment FullType on __Type { kind name fields(includeDeprecated: true) { name args { ...InputValue } type { ...TypeRef } } } fragment InputValue on __InputValue { name type { ...TypeRef } defaultValue } fragment TypeRef on __Type { kind name ofType { kind name ofType { kind name } } }"
}

Send this POST request to the endpoint:

# curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"query":"\n    query IntrospectionQuery {\n      __schema {\n        queryType { name }\n        mutationType { name }\n        subscriptionType { name }\n        types {\n          ...FullType\n        }\n      }\n    }\n\n    fragment FullType on __Type {\n      kind\n      name\n      description\n      fields(includeDeprecated: true) {\n        name\n        args {\n          ...InputValue\n        }\n      }\n    }\n    fragment InputValue on __InputValue {\n      name\n    }\n  "}' http://target.local/graphql

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.
