Active GraphQL Security Testing

Test for vulnerabilities in your GraphQL API with StackHawk’s automated security testing. StackHawk runs active tests to surface potential security issues

  • Simple scans with introspection endpoint
  • Test for OWASP Top 10 vulnerabilities
  • Trusted open source ZAP customized for GraphQL
  • User friendly GraphQL outputs
A software interface displays scan details for “crmeb_java,” showing risk levels—high (0), medium (14), and low (13). With Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST), the plugin summary lists vulnerabilities, each marked as “Complete.”.

Automated Testing in CI/CD

Run automated security tests against your GraphQL API in CI/CD. With StackHawk, you can ensure that you catch vulnerabilities before they hit production.

  • CI/CD integrations for easy automation
  • Docker based scanner for ephemeral testing
  • Fast scan performance
  • Microservice & API testing
A GitHub Actions workflow for CI Build Pre-Production highlights Shift-Left Security in CI/CD, showing completed steps with green check marks—setup, checkout, install, lint, build—and a StackHawk scan displaying scan logs in a terminal window.

Fast Tests and Fixes with Federated Scanning

Improve scan times and time to fix by scanning smaller increments of change. Testing federated GraphQL is simple with StackHawk.

  • Simple scanning of federated services
  • Lightning fast API security testing
  • YAML overlays for scalable config
  • Test smaller change units for easier fixes
A cybersecurity scan interface shows a completed scan of vuln-graphql-api, leveraging API Attack Surface Discovery and AppSec Risk Prioritization to list risk levels (High: 2, Medium: 14, Low: 35) and findings like path traversal and remote OS command injection.

Self-Service Triage and Fix

Investigating and fixing identified security issues is simple with StackHawk. From overviews ro documentation to cURL recreation, developers are equipped to self-service application security.

  • Vulnerabilities overviews and fix documentation
  • Request and response for all findings
  • cURL command generator to reproduce issues
  • Run scans locally to validate fixes
A dark-themed interface displays a popup titled Recreate Request showing a cURL command in a code box. Ideal for Dynamic Application Security Testing (DAST), it features a Copy to clipboard button with a cursor pointing at it, and a Close button on the right.
