⚠️ Risk & Real-World Impact
Worst Case
Attackers could access internal services, perform port scanning, interact with cloud metadata services, or use the server as a proxy for attacks against other systems.
Likely Case
Information disclosure from internal services, limited port scanning, or using the server to make requests to external attacker-controlled systems.
If Mitigated
Limited impact if network segmentation restricts internal access and external requests are filtered.
🎯 Exploit Status
SSRF vulnerabilities typically have low exploitation complexity, especially when unauthenticated.
