fix(graphql): enforce introspection policy on websocket operations - #2129
Enforce the existing disabled-sandbox introspection policy on GraphQL WebSocket operations before resolver execution.
Why this exists
HTTP requests already reject schema introspection when the sandbox is disabled, but graphql-ws uses a separate execution path that bypassed that policy. Aliases and fragments must receive the same treatment on both transports.
Resolution
Reuse the existing selected-operation AST policy in the WebSocket admission hook, with the existing sandbox configuration read for every operation. This keeps HTTP and WebSocket policy consistent, including operations on an already-open connection.
Reviewer considerations
Review operation selection, fragment traversal, the dynamic sandbox callback, and the Nest/graphql-ws adapter contract. The change preserves ordinary __typename requests and existing token, cost, depth, and alias limits. The nginx and OIDC changes remain separate in draft PR #2128.
Behavior changes
With sandbox disabled, WebSocket __schema and __type operations return INTROSPECTION_DISABLED before resolvers execute. Enabling sandbox permits introspection; disabling it applies to subsequent operations on the same connection.
Implementation summary
Share the existing introspection predicate across HTTP and WebSocket transports.
Construct the existing graphql-ws options with a dynamic sandbox callback.
Exercise the real WebSocket transport, selected operations, aliases, fragments, resolver side effects, sandbox toggles, and resource rejection.
Verification
28 focused Vitest tests passed in introspection-plugin.spec.ts and request-protection.spec.ts.
Full API type checking, lint including authorization lint, and production build passed.
Fresh independent Security, Checklist, and Tests reviews found no issues; the independent Architecture review confirms PATCH.
Exact-head Main CI and CodeQL passed for e0dcd9172c1c9df54e5eb290bb177eda59e09f41. The dependency audit is advisory and reports 32 findings; this PR changes no dependencies. The advisory project-coverage check reports a 0.01 percentage-point decrease (53.95% to 53.94%); patch coverage passes and all modified coverable lines are covered.
Installed the published PR artifact on managed Unraid 7.4.0-rc.2 and verified the installed policy bundle against the CI package digest.
Appliance HTTP and graphql-ws checks passed: direct/aliased/named/inline metadata denial, selected-operation handling, normal queries, anonymous protected read/write denial, 100/101-alias boundary, and token-limit rejection.
Sandbox off/on/off passed through nginx over HTTP and one continuously open WebSocket (connected=1, no disconnect before cleanup).
Build API version: 4.37.8+7b78c6ef. GitHub test merge 7b78c6ef4ea1130b25d69cbd2d0ef15277d955dc has parents base 9c45199c1c17e410f369c3f77da8749ed2b4f9d6 and exact PR head e0dcd9172c1c9df54e5eb290bb177eda59e09f41.
The admission hook affects GraphQL WebSocket operations. Normal query, introspection, configuration-change, and resource-limit cases passed locally and on the installed appliance. Anonymous protected WebSocket operations return a session-validation error with no data; this change does not alter the authentication context. External review suggested stronger error assertions as an optional test cleanup; no runtime finding was reported. Larry retest and production-release approval remain pending.
Work intent and delivery
Work Intent: OS-900 and OS-1073. The user requested this independent fix be validated and merged. Merge follows passing checks and installed QA; production shipping remains held for Larry's retest approval.
GraphQL WebSocket options now use a sandbox-state callback. The subscription handler checks the selected operation and rejects blocked introspection when sandbox mode is disabled. Integration tests cover rejection, sandbox-state changes, alias limits, and cleanup.

Summary
Create and wire WebSocket policy options api/src/unraid-api/graph/introspection-plugin.ts, api/src/unraid-api/graph/request-protection.ts, api/src/unraid-api/graph/graph.module.ts
The WebSocket options factory parses each subscription query and checks its selected operation against the introspection policy when sandbox mode is disabled. GraphModule passes the sandbox-state callback to the factory.
The integration test checks introspection rejection before resolver execution, selected-operation handling, sandbox-state changes on one connection, alias-limit rejection, and cleanup.

Merge Risk: Low · up to e0dcd
The policy change has no established runtime defect, but the new test could pass despite a policy regression. Strengthen its assertions before relying on it; otherwise this is a bounded merge risk.

Explanation
The title "fix(graphql): enforce introspection policy on websocket operations" matches the main change. The PR makes GraphQL WebSocket operations follow the disabled-sandbox introspection policy before resolver execution. The changes include a createGraphqlWsOptions factory that blocks introspection for WebSocket subscriptions, an exported isBlockedIntrospectionOperation, and a new WebSocket introspection policy test. The title is concise and specific. It uses a conventional commit prefix, which is a stylistic choice and does not affect the assessment.

A rabbit checks the query stream, And keeps blocked schema calls from view. The sandbox state is read anew, While ordinary calls pass through. Tests watch each socket open and close, Then hop away as cleanup flows.

rejects.toBeDefined() accepts unrelated rejections. Assert INTROSPECTION_DISABLED for both selected Metadata operations. Match the alias-limit message with Aliases limit, which is the stable text used by the existing WebSocket integration assertion for 101 aliases. Then assert that only Normal invoked the resolver.

the 101-alias operation must reject with a message containing “Aliases limit.”
