Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF)
Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) is a critical web security vulnerability that occurs when an attacker is able to make a server-side application send HTTP requests to an unintended location. SSRF attacks can be highly damaging, often leading to unauthorized access to internal systems, data leaks, and other severe security issues. This blog will explore the mechanics of SSRF, provide real-world examples, and offer strategies to mitigate this risk.
