This Is Forgery

A Server-Side Request Forgery attack sends malicious HTTP requests to vulnerable applications/systems to use that system as a vessel to conduct other malicious actions.

The lack of server hardening, input validation, response handling, and network access security policy enables Server-Side Request Forgery attacks to be.

Server-Side Request Forgery attacks execute payload commands through an exploited application/system targeting that system or other back-end systems.

An attacker may gather critical system/network information (scanning and enumeration) by conducting Server-Side Request Forgery attacks.

Server-Side Request Forgery attacks are dangerous because they allow the remote retrieval of files, remote execution of applications and system commands, and other malicious actions.

Server-Side Request Forgery attacks allow attackers to evade network firewalls and other network security devices.

Server-Side Request Forgery attacks may be prevented by implementing network access control policies, response handling, input validation, internal communication (zero-trust) authentication, and disabling unnecessary URLs.
