Adds security testing reference material for GraphQL authentication flaws to the pentest knowledge base.

New Documentation (docs/graphql-security-reference.md)

  • BOLA/IDOR — Missing per-field authorization on queries
  • JWT Algorithm Confusionalg: none and weak signature attacks
  • Token Leakage — GET requests exposing tokens in logs
  • Fragment/Alias Bypasses — Object-level auth circumvention
  • Rate Limit Testing — Login mutation brute-force checks

Includes remediation strategies for Apollo/Hasura/AppSync:

type Query {
  user(id: ID!): User @auth(requires: [OWNER, ADMIN])
}

README Update

Added "Security Reference Guides" section linking to the new GraphQL documentation.
