SECURITY WARNING: both graphql-playground-html and all four (4) of it's middleware dependents until graphql-playground-html@1.6.22 were subject to an XSS Reflection attack vulnerability only to unsanitized user input strings to the functions therein. This was resolved in graphql-playground-html@^1.6.22. More Information CVE-2020-4038

Future of this repository: See this issue for details.

GraphQL IDE for better development workflows (GraphQL Subscriptions, interactive docs & collaboration).

Installation

$ brew install --cask graphql-playground

Features

Security Details

NOTE: only unsanitized user input to the functions in these packages is vulnerable to the recently reported XSS Reflection attack.

Impact

Impacted are any and all unsanitized user-defined input to: -renderPlaygroundPage() -koaPlayground() -expressPlayground() -koaPlayground() -`lambdaPlayground()

If you used static values, such as graphql-playground-electron does in it's webpack config, as well as the most common middleware implementations out there, they were not vulnerable to the attack.

The only reason this vulnerability exists is because we are using template strings in renderPlaygroundPage() with potentially unsanitized user defined variables. This allows an attacker to inject html and javascript into the page.

Common examples may be user-defined path parameters, query string, unsanitized UI provided values in database, etc., that are used to build template strings or passed directly to a renderPlaygroundPage() or the matching middleware function equivalent listed above.

Impacted Packages

All versions of these packages are impacted until the ones specified below, which are now safe for user defined input:

More Information

See the security docs for more details on how your implementation might be impacted by this vulnerability. It contains safe examples, unsafe examples, workarounds, and more details.

We've also provided 'an example of the xss using the express middleware

FAQ

How is this different from GraphiQL?

GraphQL Playground uses components of GraphiQL under the hood but is meant as a more powerful GraphQL IDE enabling better (local) development workflows. Compared to GraphiQL, the GraphQL Playground ships with the following additional features:

See the following question for more additonal features.

What's the difference between the desktop app and the web version?

The desktop app is the same as the web version but includes these additional features:

How does GraphQL Bin work?

You can easily share your Playgrounds with others by clicking on the "Share" button and sharing the generated link. You can think about GraphQL Bin like Pastebin for your GraphQL queries including the context (endpoint, HTTP headers, open tabs etc).

You can also find the announcement blog post here.

Settings

In the top right corner of the Playground window you can click on the settings icon. These are the settings currently available:

{
  'editor.cursorShape': 'line', // possible values: 'line', 'block', 'underline'
  'editor.fontFamily': `'Source Code Pro', 'Consolas', 'Inconsolata', 'Droid Sans Mono', 'Monaco', monospace`,
  'editor.fontSize': 14,
  'editor.reuseHeaders': true, // new tab reuses headers from last tab
  'editor.theme': 'dark', // possible values: 'dark', 'light'
  'general.betaUpdates': false,
  'prettier.printWidth': 80,
  'prettier.tabWidth': 2,
  'prettier.useTabs': false,
  'request.credentials': 'omit', // possible values: 'omit', 'include', 'same-origin'
  'schema.polling.enable': true, // enables automatic schema polling
  'schema.polling.endpointFilter': '*localhost*', // endpoint filter for schema polling
  'schema.polling.interval': 2000, // schema polling interval in ms
  'schema.disableComments': boolean,
  'tracing.hideTracingResponse': true,
  'tracing.tracingSupported': true, // set false to remove x-apollo-tracing header from Schema fetch requests
}

Usage

Properties

The React component <Playground /> and all middlewares expose the following options:

interface ISettings {
  'editor.cursorShape': 'line' | 'block' | 'underline'
  'editor.fontFamily': string
  'editor.fontSize': number
  'editor.reuseHeaders': boolean
  'editor.theme': 'dark' | 'light'
  'general.betaUpdates': boolean
  'prettier.printWidth': number
  'prettier.tabWidth': number
  'prettier.useTabs': boolean
  'request.credentials': 'omit' | 'include' | 'same-origin'
  'request.globalHeaders': { [key: string]: string }
  'schema.polling.enable': boolean
  'schema.polling.endpointFilter': string
  'schema.polling.interval': number
  'schema.disableComments': boolean
  'tracing.hideTracingResponse': boolean
  'tracing.tracingSupported': boolean
}
interface Tab {
  endpoint: string
  query: string
  name?: string
  variables?: string
  responses?: string[]
  headers?: { [key: string]: string }
}

In addition to this, the React app provides some more properties:

createApolloLink is only available in the React Component and not the middlewares, because the content must be serializable as it is being printed into a HTML template.

As HTML Page

If you simply want to render the Playground HTML on your own, for example when implementing a GraphQL Server, there are 2 options for you:

  1. The bare minimum HTML needed to render the Playground
  2. The Playground HTML with full loading animation

Note: In case you do not want to serve assets from a CDN (like jsDelivr) and instead use a local copy, you will need to install graphql-playground-react from npm, and then replace all instances of //cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm with ./node_modules. An example can be found here

As React Component

Install

yarn add graphql-playground-react

Use

GraphQL Playground provides a React component responsible for rendering the UI and Session management. There are 3 dependencies needed in order to run the graphql-playground-react React component.

  1. Open Sans and Source Code Pro fonts
  2. Rendering the <Playground /> component

The GraphQL Playground requires React 16.

Including Fonts (1.)

<link
  href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Open+Sans:300,400,600,700|Source+Code+Pro:400,700"
  rel="stylesheet"
/>

Including stylesheet and the component (2., 3.)

import React from 'react'
import ReactDOM from 'react-dom'
import { Provider } from 'react-redux'
import { Playground, store } from 'graphql-playground-react'

ReactDOM.render(
  <Provider store={store}>
    <Playground endpoint='https://api.graph.cool/simple/v1/swapi' />
  </Provider>,
  document.body,
)

As Server Middleware

Install

# Pick the one that matches your server framework
yarn add graphql-playground-middleware-express  # for Express or Connect
yarn add graphql-playground-middleware-hapi
yarn add graphql-playground-middleware-koa
yarn add graphql-playground-middleware-lambda

Usage with example

We have a full example for each of the frameworks below:

As serverless handler

Install

yarn add graphql-playground-middleware-lambda

Usage

handler.js

import lambdaPlayground from 'graphql-playground-middleware-lambda'
// or using require()
// const lambdaPlayground = require('graphql-playground-middleware-lambda').default

exports.graphqlHandler = function graphqlHandler(event, context, callback) {
  function callbackFilter(error, output) {
    // eslint-disable-next-line no-param-reassign
    output.headers['Access-Control-Allow-Origin'] = '*'
    callback(error, output)
  }

  const handler = graphqlLambda({ schema: myGraphQLSchema })
  return handler(event, context, callbackFilter)
}

exports.playgroundHandler = lambdaPlayground({
  endpoint: '/dev/graphql',
})

serverless.yml

functions:
  graphql:
    handler: handler.graphqlHandler
    events:
      - http:
          path: graphql
          method: post
          cors: true
  playground:
    handler: handler.playgroundHandler
    events:
      - http:
          path: playground
          method: get
          cors: true

Security Issue

There is an XSS Reflection Vulnerability when using these middlewares with unsanitized user input before

Development

$ cd packages/graphql-playground-react
$ yarn
$ yarn start

Open localhost:3000/localDev.html?endpoint=https://api.graph.cool/simple/v1/swapi for local development!
