DESCRIPTION
Loading a malicious schema definition in
GraphQL::Schema.from_introspection (or GraphQL::Schema::Loader.load)
can result in remote code execution. Any system which loads a schema
by JSON from an untrusted source is vulnerable, including those that
use GraphQL::Client
to load external schemas via GraphQL introspection.
