## What it does

This skill maps SSRF entry points in URL, host, and address parameters. It also covers less obvious paths such as webhooks, URL-based imports, PDF generation, XML external entities, and proxy headers. The workflow includes outbound-request confirmation and checks for reachable internal services.

Its playbook covers first-pass testing, address-filter bypass families, protocol routing, and cloud metadata checks. It also points to `SCENARIOS.md` and `URL_PARSER_TRICKS.md` for extended cases. The callback step uses a `Burp Collaborator` or `interact.sh` URL, so that part depends on access to one of those services.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add yaklang/hack-skills --skill ssrf-server-side-request-forgery -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/ssrf-server-side-request-forgery/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/ssrf-server-side-request-forgery/

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add yaklang/hack-skills --skill ssrf-server-side-request-forgery -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/ssrf-server-side-request-forgery/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add yaklang/hack-skills --skill ssrf-server-side-request-forgery -a cursor
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/ssrf-server-side-request-forgery/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install yaklang/hack-skills ssrf-server-side-request-forgery
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/skills/ssrf-server-side-request-forgery/SKILL.md`

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add yaklang/hack-skills --skill ssrf-server-side-request-forgery -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/yaklang/hack-skills --path skills/ssrf-server-side-request-forgery
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/skills/ssrf-server-side-request-forgery/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add yaklang/hack-skills --skill ssrf-server-side-request-forgery -a opencode
```

### Claude.ai

**Claude.ai**
- Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills

Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/yaklang/hack-skills/tree/HEAD/skills/ssrf-server-side-request-forgery/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- find parameters that make the server fetch URLs
- confirm an outbound request from the server
- check access to localhost and internal services
- review requests to cloud metadata endpoints
- analyze IP and URL filter bypasses

## Example prompts
- Audit this project for SSRF entry points and list every feature that makes server-side URL requests.
- Review whether the server can reach localhost, internal services, or cloud metadata, then propose a safe verification plan.
- Analyze the validation around `imageUrl` and `redirect`, including IPv6 forms and redirect handling.

# SKILL: Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) — Expert Attack Playbook

> **AI LOAD INSTRUCTION**: Expert SSRF techniques. Covers URL filter bypass, cloud metadata endpoints, protocol exploitation, blind SSRF detection, and chaining to RCE. Base models know basic 169.254.169.254 — this file covers what they miss. For real-world CVE chains, DNS Rebinding deep dives, K8s SSRF, and SSRF → Redis → RCE full exploitation, load the companion [SCENARIOS.md](./SCENARIOS.md).

## 0. QUICK START

### Extended Scenarios

Also load [SCENARIOS.md](./SCENARIOS.md) when you need:
- WebLogic SSRF (CVE-2014-4210) — `uddiexplorer/SearchPublicRegistries.jsp` + `operator` parameter + `%0D%0A` CRLF to inject Redis commands
- SSRF → internal Redis → write crontab reverse shell complete payload chain
- DNS Rebinding deep dive — TTL=0 trick, initial-legit→second-internal resolution, `rbndr.us` service
- Kubernetes SSRF (CVE-2020-8555) and bypass (CVE-2020-8562) via DNS rebinding
- SSRF through PDF/screenshot generators — `<iframe>` and `<img>` in HTML-to-PDF
- Gopher protocol full TCP injection — Redis, MySQL, FastCGI payloads via Gopherus
- URL parser confusion for filter bypass — `#@`, `\@`, `%00@`, IPv6-mapped IPv4

### Advanced Reference

Also load [URL_PARSER_TRICKS.md](./URL_PARSER_TRICKS.md) when you need:
- URL parser differential table: Python urllib vs requests vs Java URL vs PHP parse_url vs Node url.parse vs Go net/url
- Full cloud metadata endpoint catalog (AWS IMDSv1/v2, GCP, Azure, DigitalOcean, Alibaba Cloud, Oracle Cloud, Kubernetes, Hetzner, OpenStack)
- gopher:// payload recipes for Redis, MySQL, SMTP, FastCGI, Memcached (with encoding rules)
- DNS Rebinding detailed attack flow with TTL manipulation and TOCTOU analysis
- PDF/wkhtmltopdf/WeasyPrint/Chrome headless/PhantomJS SSRF patterns and exfiltration techniques

If you just found a parameter that fetches a URL, perform first-pass confirmation here directly.

### First-pass payloads

```text
http://127.0.0.1/
http://localhost/
http://169.254.169.254/latest/meta-data/
http://[::1]/
http://127.1/
```

### Host validation bypass families

| Validation Type | Try |
|---|---|
| blocks `localhost` string | `127.0.0.1`, `127.1`, `[::1]` |
| blocks direct IP only | internal DNS name, decimal/octal/hex IP forms |
| allowlist by prefix | username part, subdomain confusion, redirect chain |
| follows redirects | benign external URL redirecting to internal target |
