Damn Vulnerable GraphQL is a deliberately weak and insecure implementation of GraphQL that provides a safe environment to attack a GraphQL application, allowing developers and IT professionals to test for vulnerabilities.
- Queries
- Mutations
- Subscriptions
DVGA has numerous flaws, such as Injections, Code Executions, Bypasses, Denial of Service, and more. See the full list under the Scenarios section. A public Postman collection is also available to replay solutions to the challenges. You can import the collection by clicking on the Run in Postman button below.
DVGA supports Beginner and Expert level game modes, which will change the exploitation difficulty.

See requirements.txt for dependencies.
git clone https://github.com/dolevf/Damn-Vulnerable-GraphQL-Application.git && cd Damn-Vulnerable-GraphQL-Application
docker build -t dvga .
Note: If you are using an ARM-based Mac, use the dedicated Dockerfile.arm64 file:
docker build -t dvga -f Dockerfile.arm64 .
docker run -d -t -p 5013:5013 -e WEB_HOST=0.0.0.0 --name dvga dvga
In your browser, navigate to http://localhost:5013
Note: if you need the application to bind on a specific port (e.g. 8080), use -e WEB_PORT=8080.
docker pull dolevf/dvga
Docker Hub image: dolevf/dvga
docker run -t -p 5013:5013 -e WEB_HOST=0.0.0.0 dolevf/dvga
In your browser, navigate to http://localhost:5013
Note: Python 3.10 is not supported yet!
cd /opt/
git clone [email protected]:dolevf/Damn-Vulnerable-GraphQL-Application.git && cd Damn-Vulnerable-GraphQL-Application
pip3 install -r requirements.txt
python3 app.py
In your browser, navigate to http://localhost:5013.

DVGA is highly insecure, and as such, should not be deployed on internet facing servers. By default, the application is listening on 127.0.0.1 to avoid misconfigurations.
DVGA is intentionally flawed and vulnerable, as such, it comes with no warranties. By using DVGA, you take full responsibility for using it.
