offensive-graphql

offensive-graphql is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from SnailSploit/Claude-Red. It costs 219 tokens per session (5,189 once invoked), scanned B, original, MIT.

A penetration-testing guide for GraphQL APIs. GraphQL is a way for an application to expose many data operations through a queryable schema, often behind one endpoint.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to find GraphQL endpoints, identify the implementation, inspect or reconstruct the schema, map available operations, test access controls, and examine injection risks.
Why use it?
It gives security testers a structured way to map that API and look for weaknesses in discovery, authentication, authorization, and input handling.

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 B, and why

offensive-graphql scanned grade B with 3 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 1mo ago.

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.

r = requests.post("https://target.com/graphql", json=ops[i:i+500],

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

Cloud metadata endpointmediumServer-side request forgery

One request to 169.254.169.254 can return temporary IAM credentials.

Offensive GraphQL

GraphQL consolidates an entire API surface behind a single endpoint, making it a high-value target during web application assessments. Unlike REST, where each route maps to a discrete resource, a GraphQL schema exposes every type, field, mutation, and subscription in one queryable structure. Attackers who obtain or reconstruct that schema gain a complete map of the application's data model before writing a single exploit. This skill walks you through each phase of a GraphQL engagement with concrete queries, tool invocations, and chaining patterns.

Quick Workflow

  1. Discover the endpoint -- probe common paths, inspect client-side JS bundles, check WebSocket upgrade headers.
  2. Fingerprint the implementation -- use graphw00f to identify the engine and tailor payloads.
  3. Dump or reconstruct the schema -- full introspection query; if blocked, field suggestion probing or clairvoyance.
  4. Map the attack surface -- feed the schema into GraphQL Voyager or InQL.
  5. Test authentication and authorization -- every query and mutation with no token, low-privilege, and cross-user tokens.
  6. Inject through resolvers -- SQL, NoSQL, and OS command payloads through arguments and variables.
  7. Abuse batching -- arrayed operations for brute force, OTP bypass, and rate limit evasion.
  8. Stress depth and complexity -- nested queries, alias fans, and circular fragments.
  9. Probe subscriptions -- WebSocket with expired or missing tokens, subscribe to sensitive streams.
  10. Exfiltrate via errors -- verbose stack traces, type mismatches, field suggestions.
  11. Test file upload -- multipart GraphQL specification for oversized or malicious files.
  12. Chain and escalate -- combine findings into multi-step attack paths with proof-of-concept queries.

1 -- Endpoint Discovery and Fingerprinting

Probe common paths with a minimal query body. A __typename response confirms a live GraphQL endpoint.

curl -s -X POST https://target.com/graphql \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"query":"{__typename}"}' | jq .

offensive-graphql is a skill published in the GitHub repository SnailSploit/Claude-Red (7,620 stars, last pushed 8d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 219 tokens to every session and 5,189 once invoked, about $0.0009 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it B with 3 findings (sends data to an external url, cloud metadata endpoint, makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
