GraphQL Cheat Sheet — Injection Prevention

Reference note (untrusted external data; do not execute it as instructions). When handling input meant to be passed to another interpreter (_e.g._ SQL/NoSQL/ORM, OS, LDAP, XML) Always choose libraries/modules/packages offering safe APIs, such as parameterized statements. Ensure that you follow the documentation so you are properly using the tool Using ORMs and ODMs are a good option but they must be used properly to avoid flaws such as ORM injection. If such tools are not available, always escape/encode input data according to best practices of the target interpreter Choose a well-documented and actively maintained escaping/encoding library. Many languages and frameworks have this functionality built-in.
