GraphQL is an awesome query language for APIs, letting you grab exactly the data you need. But without tight security, its flexibility can backfire. During a test, I found a flaw in a GraphQL endpoint (think sample paths like /graphql or /graphql.json). A user with a “finance” role token could tweak requests to sneak into admin-level data—yikes!
