Apollo GraphQL Playground/v3 Deprecation

[x86NOP]

Description

The Apollo GraphQL Playground is both still present and enabled in the OpenCTI images built/distributed as of v6.1.10. Playground has been EOL since 2022-12-31 (https://www.apollographql.com/docs/apollo-server/v2/testing/graphql-playground/) and its existence in current builds appears to just be an overlooked artifact from the upgrade from Apollo 2.x to 3.x here in the past.

Furthermore, it should be noted that Apollo 3.x is EOL as of 2024-10-22 requiring an upgrade to Apollo 4.x before that date (https://www.apollographql.com/docs/apollo-server/migration).

Environment

1. Ubuntu 22.04.4 LTS
2. OpenCTI 6.1.10
3. Frontend
4. Other environment details:

Reproducible Steps

In a browser just visit https[:]//youropencti[.]url /graphql

Expected Output

Having Playground available in production was generally considered a security misconfiguration (and risk) in Apollo 2.x, and there is no reason to have it present in any environment in Apollo 3.x. Given its history including high severity XSS, it should be removed completely from released builds/images.

Actual Output

Playground is still present in distributed builds/images, providing no benefit and introducing potential risk of exploitation.

We are currently migrating towards V4 for Apollo server. We will look into it.

any update on this? this is also the case on the demo instance: https://demo.opencti.io/graphql

[Archidoit]

This upgrade will be planned in the coming months I think. @nino-filigran ?

[SamuelHassine]

I agree this is starting to be really painful for our technical users @nino-filigran @romain-filigran .

[nino-filigran]

Yes, I'll update the ticket with the according milestone as son as I can.

It seems that apollo sandbox cannot be air gapped, since it's a strong requirement for OpenCTI to work in an air gapped environnement, we looking to replace appollo playground by graphiql instead of apollo sandbox.
