This behavior can lead to unnecessary resource consumption, server performance degradation, and potential exploitation by malicious actors to cause denial-of-service (DoS) attacks.
An attacker sends a query with 500 duplicated fields in an attempt to overload the GraphQL server. Each duplicate field forces the server to process the same data multiple times, potentially consuming significant CPU and memory resources. If this query is allowed, it could cause the server to slow down or even crash, resulting in a denial-of-service (DoS) attack.
