Security Test: SSRF Injection in headers¶

Description¶

Default Severity: low

SSRF injection in headers happens when a web app fetches a remote resource using a URL supplied by a user without checking it properly. An attacker can then trick the system into making requests to unintended destinations, like internal systems or services behind a firewall. This can expose internal APIs, lead to data breaches, or even be a pathway to further attacks. Developers often overlook proper input validation or rely too much on network boundaries for security, which can leave these vulnerabilities open.
