How does it work?

graphw00f (inspired by wafw00f) is the GraphQL fingerprinting tool for GQL endpoints, it sends a mix of benign and malformed queries to determine the GraphQL engine running behind the scenes. graphw00f will provide insights into what security defences each technology provides out of the box, and whether they are on or off by default.

Specially crafted queries cause different GraphQL server implementations to respond uniquely to queries, mutations and subscriptions, this makes it trivial to fingerprint the backend engine and distinguish between the various GraphQL implementations. (CWE: CWE-200)

Detections

graphw00f currently attempts to discover the following GraphQL engines:

Graphene - Python
Ariadne - Python
Apollo - TypeScript
graphql-go - Go
gqlgen - Go
WPGraphQL - PHP
GraphQL API for Wordpress - PHP
Ruby - GraphQL
graphql-php - PHP
Hasura - Haskell
HyperGraphQL - Java
graphql-java - Java
Juniper - Rust
Sangria - Scala
Flutter - Dart
Diana.jl - Julia
Strawberry - Python
Tartiflette - Python

GraphQL Technologies Defence Matrices

Each fingerprinted technology (e.g. Graphene, Ariadne, ...) has an associated document (example for graphene) which covers the security defence mechanisms the specific technology supports to give a better idea how the implementation may be attacked.

| Field Suggestions | Query Depth Limit | Query Cost Analysis | Automatic Persisted Queries | Introspection      | Debug Mode | Batch Requests  |
|-------------------|-------------------|---------------------|-----------------------------|--------------------|------------|-----------------|
| On by Default     | No Support        | No Support          | No Support                  | Enabled by Default | N/A        | Off by Default  |

Installation

Clone Repository

git clone [email protected]:dolevf/graphw00f.git

Run graphw00f

python3 main.py -h

Usage: main.py -h

Options:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -r, --noredirect      Do not follow redirections given by 3xx responses
  -t URL, --target=URL  target url with the path
  -o OUTPUT_FILE, --output-file=OUTPUT_FILE
                        Output results to a file (CSV)
  -l, --list            List all GraphQL technologies graphw00f is able to
                        detect
  -v, --version         Print out the current version and exit.

Example

python3 main.py -t http://127.0.0.1:5000/graphql
