Nome: Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF)

The web server receives a URL or similar request from an upstream component and retrieves the contents of this URL, but it does not sufficiently ensure that the request is being sent to the expected destination.

Note: By providing URLs to unexpected hosts or ports, attackers can make it appear that the server is sending the request, possibly bypassing access controls such as firewalls that prevent the attackers from accessing the URLs directly. The server can be used as a proxy to conduct port scanning of hosts in internal networks, use other URLs such as that can access documents on the system (using file://), or use other protocols such as gopher:// or tftp://, which may provide greater control over the contents of requests.

Exemplos Observados

Referências Descrição

CVE-2024-3095

SSRF in LLM application development framework because the URL retriever allows connections to local addresses using a crafted Location header

CVE-2023-32786

Chain: LLM integration framework has prompt injection (CWE-1427) that allows an attacker to force the service to retrieve data from an arbitrary URL, essentially providing SSRF (CWE-918) and potentially injecting content into downstream tasks.

CVE-2021-26855

Server Side Request Forgery (SSRF) in mail server, as exploited in the wild per CISA KEV.

CVE-2021-21973

Server Side Request Forgery in cloud platform, as exploited in the wild per CISA KEV.

CVE-2016-4029

Chain: incorrect validation of intended decimal-based IP address format (CWE-1286) enables parsing of octal or hexadecimal formats (CWE-1389), allowing bypass of an SSRF protection mechanism (CWE-918).

CVE-2002-1484

Web server allows attackers to request a URL from another server, including other ports, which allows proxied scanning.

CVE-2004-2061

CGI script accepts and retrieves incoming URLs.

CVE-2010-1637

Web-based mail program allows internal network scanning using a modified POP3 port number.

CVE-2009-0037

URL-downloading library automatically follows redirects to file:// and scp:// URLs

Métodos de Detecção

Automated Static Analysis

Automated static analysis, commonly referred to as Static Application Security Testing (SAST), can find some instances of this weakness by analyzing source code (or binary/compiled code) without having to execute it. Typically, this is done by building a model of data flow and control flow, then searching for potentially-vulnerable patterns that connect "sources" (origins of input) with "sinks" (destinations where the data interacts with external components, a lower layer such as the OS, etc.)
Eficácia : High

Notas de Mapeamento de Vulnerabilidade

Justificativa : This CWE entry is at the Base level of abstraction, which is a preferred level of abstraction for mapping to the root causes of vulnerabilities.
Comentário : Carefully read both the name and description to ensure that this mapping is an appropriate fit. Do not try to 'force' a mapping to a lower-level Base/Variant simply to comply with this preferred level of abstraction.

CAPEC-664 Server Side Request Forgery

Notas

CWE-918 (SSRF) and CWE-611 (XXE) are closely related, because they both involve web-related technologies and can launch outbound requests to unexpected destinations. However, XXE can be performed client-side, or in other contexts in which the software is not acting directly as a server, so the "Server" portion of the SSRF acronym does not necessarily apply.
