Description

Tracked in docs/TRACEABILITY.md, DVGA row 21.

SecurityMisconfigurationTestCase's verbose-error detection is REST-oriented. DVGA's "Stack Trace / Debug Error Disclosure" fires on malformed GraphQL queries, never reached by the existing check. Needs a GraphQL-shaped equivalent.

Research direction

Start with docs/TRACEABILITY.md row 21 and locate SecurityMisconfigurationTestCase. Compare its REST-oriented verbose-error detection with the malformed GraphQL query behavior described for DVGA, then identify the GraphQL test entry point. Done means the GraphQL-shaped check is wired into the test case and covers the stack-trace/debug-error disclosure scenario.
