Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) Attack

Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) is an attack that happens when a bad person tricks a web server into making a request to another server. This can be dangerous because the bad person can make the request look like it’s coming from the web server, even though it’s really coming from them.

This can allow the bad person to do things like access sensitive information, send spam, or even take control of the web server.

To prevent an SSRF attack, it’s important to make sure that servers only make requests to trusted sources and to sanitize any user input that can be used to make a request.
