Recurring patterns
The bug types that recur here, drawn from past fixes, not open vulnerabilities.
Stored XSS: Untrusted GraphQL schemas can inject malicious scripts into the DOM via unsanitized schema descriptions when rendered using innerHTML. This presents a high risk if users load schemas from arbitrary or malicious third-party endpoints.
Reflected XSS: Insecure parameter rendering when constructing the playground HTML page allows attackers to inject malicious code. Strict output encoding via sanitization modules is required to neutralize reflected inputs.
Auth Bypass: Misplacing authentication or credential options (such as placing them inside the headers block instead of the top-level fetch configurations) prevents credential transit (cookies/tokens), causing silent session authorization failures during schema retrieval.
