Crown Jewel Targets

SSRF is highest-value when the target runs on cloud infrastructure (AWS, GCP, Azure) where metadata services expose credentials, or when the server sits inside a complex internal network (Kubernetes clusters, microservice meshes, internal APIs). Priority targets:

  • Cloud-hosted SaaS products (GCP metadata at 169.254.169.254 or metadata.google.internal, AWS IMDSv1)
  • Kubernetes/orchestration platforms — aggregated API servers, metrics-server, kubelet endpoints expose privileged cluster operations
  • Internal developer tooling — CI/CD, workflow orchestration (Flyte, Argo), admin panels not exposed externally
  • Link preview / URL fetching features — Reddit-style preview APIs, Slack-style unfurling, media processors
  • Dataset/file import pipelines — anything that fetches remote URLs on behalf of a user
  • Enterprise self-hosted software (GitHub Enterprise, GitLab) — SSRF frequently chains to RCE via internal services

Payouts are highest when SSRF reaches: cloud credentials → account takeover, internal admin APIs → data exfil, or chains to RCE.

OOB-Or-It-Didn't-Happen Gate (Read First)

Claims of blind SSRF require an out-of-band (OOB) confirmation. Always. No exceptions.

OOB means: a Burp Collaborator domain, an interactsh-client listener, a canarytoken, or any DNS+HTTP receiver you control that confirms the server actually made an outbound network connection on your behalf.

What is NOT confirmation of SSRF

  • The server echoing your URL back in an error message. Example: "The Web application at http://evil.example.com/x could not be found" — this is the server formatting your input into an error string, NOT making an outbound HTTP request. The error came from string formatting, not from network failure.
  • The server returning a different status code for an external URL vs localhost. Different error responses can come from URL-scheme validators, not from actual fetching.
  • A delayed response when the URL is sent. Delay can come from DNS resolution attempts within the parser, not from completed HTTP fetches.

What IS confirmation of SSRF

  • A DNS lookup for your unique Collaborator subdomain appears in the OOB listener.
  • An HTTP request to your Collaborator HTTP endpoint with the server's source IP and User-Agent.
  • For SSRF in JavaScript-execution contexts (PDF renderers, headless browsers), a fetch from the server to your callback URL.

Default workflow

import.) only works if your listener actually reports the queried subdomain back to you — verify that before relying on it. Burp's getcollaboratorinteractions keys results by payload ID, not by subdomain, so several sub-tags generated from one payload are indistinguishable in the output. When that is the case, generate a fresh payload per candidate parameter and send exactly one request per payload.

  1. Plant the Collaborator payload first. Sub-tagging (dlsrcurl.,
  1. Send the request to the target endpoint.
  2. Wait 30–120 seconds, then poll the OOB listener.
  3. Only after a confirmed callback do you claim SSRF.
  4. If zero callbacks across all sub-tagged sinks: SSRF claims must be retracted, even if error messages echo URLs.

Lesson from a authorized engagement: SharePoint's /layouts/15/download.aspx?SourceUrl= returned 500 with the title "The Web application at could not be found". Initial scan flagged this as SSRF (server clearly processed the URL). 38 Collaborator-tagged payloads across 12+ URL-accepting parameters yielded zero DNS or HTTP interactions**. The "echo" was client-side error-string formatting; the server never made an outbound HTTP request. The path is actually an SP-internal SPFile/SPWebApplication resolver, not a generic URL fetcher. Reporting this as SSRF would have been N/A'd at triage.

Attribute the callback to ONE parameter before reporting

A callback proves the server made a request. It does not tell you which parameter caused it, and the fix depends entirely on that.

BAD   — four candidate fields, one payload, fired in one batch
        -> callbacks arrive, attribution impossible, retest required

GOOD  — fresh payload per field, one request each, poll between
        url      -> callbacks    <- this is the sink
        apiUrl   -> none
        endpoint -> none
        target   -> none

Run the negative control. A parameter that produces no callback is evidence, and it belongs in the report — it is what lets the client fix the right field instead of allowlisting the wrong one.

Lesson from an authorized engagement. A server-side request-forwarding endpoint accepted both url and apiUrl. The application's own stored config used apiUrl, so that was the obvious suspect — but apiUrl was inert and url was the live sink. Batch-firing both had produced callbacks with no attribution; only per-payload isolation identified the real parameter. A report naming apiUrl would have sent the client to patch a field that does nothing.

Blind vs full-read — establish which before scoring

After a callback confirms the request leaves the server, check whether the upstream response body is returned to you. These are different findings:

internal service reached, or data returned, to be reportable.

  • Blind (callback only, no body): on the never-submit list standalone. Needs an

read arbitrary internal endpoints directly.

  • Full-read (upstream body in the response): substantially higher severity —
# one request settles it: fetch something with a known, recognisable body
-d '{"url":"https://example.com/"}'
# {"statusCode":200,"data":"<!doctype html>...<title>Example Domain</title>..."}
#                          ^ body returned = full-read, not blind

Also body-diff a known-internal target against a known-external one. A distinct status on a link-local address (e.g. 401 from 169.254.169.254 where every other target returns 200) is the metadata service answering — that proves reach to a non-internet-routable address, which a status code alone otherwise cannot.

Tech Stack Signals

  • Kubernetes — any public-facing aggregated API, metrics endpoints
  • GCP — any service fetching URLs that runs on Compute Engine/GKE
  • Node.js/Python with URL-fetching libraries (requests, node-fetch, axios)
  • Headless browsers (Puppeteer, PhantomJS) used for screenshots/PDF — extremely high value
  • XML/DSPL/CSV import features — XXE-style SSRF vector
  • OAuth/webhook registration endpoints

Step-by-Step Hunting Methodology

  1. Map all URL-input parameters across the target: spider JS files for fetch calls, check all API docs, look for file-import, link-preview, webhook, image-proxy, and redirect features.
  1. Set up an out-of-band detection server using Burp Collaborator, interactsh, or https://canarytokens.org — you need a unique per-test DNS/HTTP callback domain.
  1. Send your callback URL as the parameter value first (blind SSRF check before anything else):
url=https://YOUR.interactsh.com/test

Confirm the server makes an outbound connection. This proves execution before attempting internal targets.

  1. Test internal cloud metadata endpoints:
  • GCP: http://metadata.google.internal/computeMetadata/v1/
  • AWS: http://169.254.169.254/latest/meta-data/
  • Azure: http://169.254.169.254/metadata/instance
  1. Test localhost and common internal ports:
http://localhost/
   http://127.0.0.1:8080/
   http://127.0.0.1:6443/  (Kubernetes API)
   http://127.0.0.1:2379/  (etcd)
   http://127.0.0.1:9090/  (Prometheus)
   http://127.0.0.1:9200/  (Elasticsearch)
  1. Check for redirect-based SSRF — if the endpoint validates the initial URL but follows 30x redirects, host a redirect server pointing to internal addresses. Kubernetes report (Report 3) was specifically triggered by hijacked API servers returning 30x responses.
  1. Test JavaScript-execution contexts (headless browsers, PDF renderers):
  • Inject tags that make XMLHttpRequest or fetch() calls to internal services
  • Exfil via DNS: encode response data in subdomain of your callback domain
  1. Enumerate the internal network using timing differences and error message variations:
  • Port scan via response time (connection refused vs timeout)
  • Check error messages for hostname/IP leakage
  1. Chain findings — if you have SSRF to internal services, look for:
  • Unauthenticated admin endpoints
  • Redis, memcached (protocol smuggling)
  • Internal OAuth token endpoints
  • SSRF → CSRF → RCE (GitHub Enterprise pattern)
  1. Document the full chain with screenshots of each hop before reporting.

Payload & Detection Patterns

Basic Out-of-Band Detection

# Using interactsh-client
interactsh-client -v

# Test parameter
curl -s "https://target.com/api/preview?url=https://YOUR_ID.oast.pro"

# With common headers that might unlock SSRF
curl -s "https://target.com/api/fetch" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"url":"https://YOUR_ID.oast.pro"}'

  • Abugcrowd-reportingBugcrowd-specific reporting tactics complementing report-writing: VRT category search-and-fallback strategy when no exact match exists, manual severity override when VRT defaults underrate impact, severity-request paragraph as first body section, OOS-clause rebuttal templates (rate limiting on auth-flow endpoints, debug-info framing, user-enumeration with sensitive PII, theoretical-issue counter), chained-finding cross-reference patterns, target selection for QA-vs-prod programs, researcher-side hygiene (Bugcrowdninja email alias, account state restoration, friendly-tester posture). Use when filing a Bugcrowd submission, when VRT default seems wrong, when triager closes as OOS or downgrades severity, when chaining linked submissions, or when scope distinguishes production from QA. Pairs with report-writing and triage-validation.
  • Acloud-iam-deepCloud IAM red-team attack chain across AWS, Azure, GCP — focused on EXTERNAL exploitation paths and post-credential-discovery privilege analysis. Covers IAM enumeration (aws iam, az role, gcloud iam), STS/AssumeRole chaining, Azure Managed Identity abuse (via SSRF/leak), GCP service account JSON abuse, IMDSv1/v2 attacks via SSRF, K8s ServiceAccount token privilege analysis once held (token discovery / cluster exposure is owned by hunt-k8s), role-trust-policy confused-deputy, cross-account assume-role enumeration, IAM privilege escalation patterns (24+ AWS, 8+ Azure, 6+ GCP), and AWS Cognito Identity Pool unauthenticated-role attack chain (GetId → GetCredentialsForIdentity → IAM role abuse). Built for the case where recon yields a credential (key, JSON, token) and you need to know what it grants and how to escalate. Use when an AWS key / Azure secret / GCP service account JSON / K8s SA token surfaces from a code repo, JS bundle, APK, breach corpus, or SSRF chain.
  • Centerprise-vpn-attackExternal SSL VPN / remote-access appliance attack matrix — Cisco ASA/AnyConnect, Fortinet FortiGate/FortiOS, Citrix NetScaler/ADC, Palo Alto GlobalProtect, Pulse Secure / Ivanti Connect Secure, SonicWall, F5 Big-IP. Covers version fingerprinting, CVE matrix (2018-2026), AAA backend identification, default credentials, configuration-disclosure paths, pre-auth RCE/SSRF/path-traversal exploits where applicable. Built from authorized-engagement Cisco ASA testing plus 2024-2026 enterprise VPN CVE landscape. Use whenever the target's perimeter exposes any SSL VPN appliance or remote-access gateway — these are the most common initial-access points in 2024-2026 actor TTPs.
  • Aevidence-hygieneEvidence-capture and PoC-redaction discipline for bug-bounty submissions: cookie redaction protocol (which fields to mask, Preview annotation / Burp panel hiding / DevTools workflow), PII black-bar discipline (what to mask in other-user data — names, emails, phones, faces — vs what is safe to leave — usernames, trace IDs, request bodies), HAR file sanitization (jq filters for Cookie/Set-Cookie/Authorization headers), Burp Repeater/Intruder screenshot hygiene (hide request body, show only Results table for rate-limit attacks), Chrome DevTools Console PoC patterns (credentials include so cookies are not echoed, labeled console.log), screenshot capture order, filename conventions, post-submission rotation hygiene. Use BEFORE any PoC screenshot, BEFORE attaching a HAR, or whenever preparing evidence with session cookies or other-user PII. Pairs with bugcrowd-reporting and report-writing.
  • Ahunt-api-misconfigHunt API security misconfiguration — mass assignment, prototype pollution, HTTP verb tampering. Mass assignment: send {is_admin:true, role:admin, verified:true} on profile/account/reset endpoints — server blindly applies. JWT signature/crypto forging (alg:none, key confusion, kid/jku) is owned by hunt-jwt-crypto; this skill covers only non-crypto JWT handling. Prototype pollution: __proto__ injection in JSON merge / Object.assign / lodash _.merge → polluted prototype reaches sink (RCE in Node, XSS in browser). HTTP verb: GET-bypass-CSRF, X-HTTP-Method-Override, TRACE enabled. Detection: API responses with extra fields, JWTs in headers (decode at jwt.io). CORS misconfiguration (reflect-any-origin, null origin, subdomain-regex bypass, postMessage) is owned by hunt-cors. Use when hunting API misconfigs, mass-assignment, prototype pollution (JWT crypto → hunt-jwt-crypto).
  • Ahunt-aspnetHunt ASP.NET-specific surface — ViewState deserialization (signed-only vs encrypted), machineKey recovery, dual-parser MAC-bypass anti-pattern, request-validator bypass, trace.axd/elmah.axd disclosure, load-balanced ViewState cross-node failures, SafeControl enumeration via reflection, customErrors mode=Off stack-trace leaks, classic Webforms .aspx/.asmx/.svc surface. Built for ASP.NET Webforms + WCF + SharePoint farms.
  • Ahunt-atoHunt account takeover taxonomy — 9 distinct paths to ATO, plus chains. Paths: (1) password reset flaws (host-header injection redirects token, predictable/numeric token, Referer leak, no-expiry/reuse), (2) email change without re-auth, (3) OAuth account-link CSRF, (4) MFA bypass (per hunt-mfa-bypass), (5) session fixation, (6) JWT manipulation (forge token to another identity; crypto details → hunt-jwt-crypto), (7) password change without step-up (chain with login timing/length oracle), (8) social-recovery / security-question brute-force, (9) SSO subdomain takeover at OAuth redirect_uri. Chains: cookie theft + password oracle + no step-up = persistent ATO; lax redirect_uri = auth-code theft; dangling-CNAME takeover at redirect_uri = ATO. Validate: demonstrate real takeover of test account B from attacker A's session; OOB/Collaborator confirm blind token-leak steps. Use when hunting ATO chains, testing password reset / email change / MFA / OAuth / session / JWT, or chaining primitives toward Critical.
  • Ahunt-auth-bypassHunting skill for auth bypass vulnerabilities. Built from 12 public bug bounty reports across SAML XSW / parser-differential (GitHub Enterprise CVE-2025-25291/25292), SAML signature stripping (Uber, Rocket.Chat, samlify CVE-2025-47949), SAML domain enforcement bypass via control characters (HackerOne 2024), partner-portal cross-IdP assertion reuse (Slack), WordPress XMLRPC bypassing SSO (Uber), JWT alg-confusion HS256/RS256 (Jitsi), JWT signature-validation skip (Linktree, Newspack), and token-audience confusion (Argo CD CVE-2023-22482). For standalone JWT signature/crypto forging (alg:none, key confusion, kid/jku) see hunt-jwt-crypto; this skill covers JWT only inside SSO/SAML/token-trust bypass chains. SAML assertion-layer attacks (XSW, comment injection, signature stripping, XXE-in-assertion) are owned by hunt-saml; this skill owns the broader cross-protocol auth-bypass taxonomy. Use when hunting auth bypass — see the Legacy-Protocol Matrix for branded-UI vs legacy-endpoint patterns.
