0x40k<p>Alright folks, gotta share something kinda alarming I just read: SSRF attacks are seriously picking up steam! 🤯 For those who don't know, SSRF (Server Side Request Forgery) is nasty business. Basically, attackers can trick your server into making requests *for* them. Think internal network snooping, stealing cloud credentials... you know the drill.</p><p>And get this – it's hitting tons of systems at once (DotNetNuke, Zimbra, VMware, GitLab, Ivanti, you name it!). It almost feels like a coordinated attack, doesn't it?</p><p>It's especially dicey in the cloud because SSRF can be used to access internal metadata APIs. Yikes!</p><p>I'm telling you, I once did a pentest where we almost completely missed an SSRF vulnerability being used to compromise internal AWS resources. It was a super close call! 😅</p><p>So, here's what you should do, pronto:</p><p>* **Patch like your life depends on it!** (Seriously, this isn't optional)<br>* **Restrict outgoing connections** (Least Privilege is your best friend here!)<br>* **Monitor those outgoing requests** (Gotta catch any suspicious behavior)<br>* **Network segmentation** (This can seriously limit the damage)</p><p>AI can be helpful for spotting anomalies, but remember: AI is NOT a pentest! Automated scans are nice, but they're no replacement for actual human expertise.</p><p>Are you seeing more SSRF attacks lately? What tools are you using to detect them? Let me know in the comments.</p><p><a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/infosec" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>infosec</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/ssrf" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ssrf</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/pentest" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>pentest</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/cybersecurity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>cybersecurity</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/cloudsecurity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>cloudsecurity</span></a></p>
