Server-Side Request Forgery (AWS)
Summary#
Invicti detected a Server-Side Request Forgery based on pattern matching and confirmed the vulnerability using specific AWS meta-data API requests.
Impact#
Server-Side Request Forgery allows an attacker to make local and/or remote network requests while masquerading as the target server.
Having an AWS meta-data API endpoint that is accessible through SSRF MAY lead to total compromise of the virtual computer and other AWS resources that are accessible by the compromised account.
Remediation#
