This enables clients to explore the API's schema, including its types, fields, and relationships.
While this is useful during development, it poses a security risk in production environments as it exposes sensitive schema details to potential attackers.
An attacker sends an introspection query to the production GraphQL API to retrieve the full schema. By analyzing the schema, the attacker can identify sensitive fields, types, and queries they might not have known about otherwise. This information can be used to craft targeted attacks, such as accessing unauthorized data or exploiting weaknesses in the API.
