To mitigate the risk of Alias Overloading attacks, you can take the following steps:

- **Implement timeouts**: Enforce query timeouts to terminate queries that take too long to resolve. By setting a maximum execution time, you can automatically terminate queries that abuse aliases and consume excessive server resources, preventing Denial of Service (DoS) attacks.

- **Limit Aliases**: Configure server-side limits on the number of aliases allowed in a single GraphQL query. You can configure tools like GraphQL Armor to limit aliases and prevent overloading.

=== "JavaScript"
  ```javascript
    // Configuring for GraphQL Armor
    GraphQLArmorConfig({
      maxAliases: {
        // Enable or disable the plugin | default: true
        enabled: true,
        
        // Set the maximum number of aliases allowed per query | default: 50
        n: 50,
    
        // Callbacks to execute when a query is accepted
        onAccept: [],
    
        // Callbacks to execute when a query is rejected
        onReject: [],
    
        // Propagate rejection details to the client | default: true
        propagateOnRejection: true,
      }
    })
  ```


=== "Python"
  ```python
    import graphql
    from graphql.language import ast
    from graphql.language import parser
    from settings import api
    
    def validate_aliases(query: str) -> None:
        """
        This validation prevents the execution of queries containing an excessive
        number of aliases to prevent server overload.
        """
    
        class AliasesParser(parser.Parser):
            def parse_aliases(self) -> list[ast.FieldNode]:
                aliases = 0
                while self.peek(graphql.TokenKind.NAME):
                    aliases += 1
                    if aliases > api.API_MAX_ALIASES:
                        raise graphql.GraphQLError("Exception - Max aliases exceeded")
                    self.parse_field()
                return []
    
        ast_parser = AliasesParser(query)
        ast_parser.parse_document()
  ```
