01. GraphQL Security Introduction & Threat Landscape
Foundational theory of GraphQL execution engines, schema architecture, root causes of vulnerabilities, and the modern GraphQL threat landscape.
02. GraphQL Attack Vectors & Mechanics
Deep technical mechanics of GraphQL vulnerabilities: Introspection abuse, deep recursion, circular queries, array batching, field aliasing, directive injection, and subscription hijacking.
03. GraphQL Code Examples & Attack Scenarios
Production-grade code examples showcasing vulnerable vs secure implementations in Python, Node.js, Go, and Java across key GraphQL attack scenarios.
04. Production-Grade GraphQL Defenses & Architecture Patterns
Comprehensive mitigation strategies for GraphQL: Automatic Persisted Queries (APQ), query cost analysis, schema validation, field directives, rate limiting, and gateway hardening.
05. GraphQL Security Tools & Automation
Hands-on guide to GraphQL security auditing tools: InQL, Clairvoyance, GraphQL-Cop, Graphw0of, Burp Suite Extensions, and custom Semgrep SAST rules.
