Understanding Blind SSRF
This content is an AI-generated summary. If you encounter any misinformation or problematic content, please report it to cyb.hub@proton.me.
Blind Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) is a cybersecurity vulnerability where an attacker sends requests to a target server without receiving direct feedback about the outcome. This makes it more challenging to exploit than basic SSRF.
Key Points
- Blind SSRF: Attacker sends requests without direct feedback.
- Out-Of-Band SSRF: Uses a separate communication channel to receive information.
- Semi-Blind SSRF: Uses timing-related clues to infer success or failure.
Types of Blind SSRF
Out-Of-Band SSRF
Out-of-band SSRF leverages a separate communication channel to receive information indirectly from the target server. This method allows the attacker to gather data or control the exploited server without direct responses.
Semi-Blind SSRF
Semi-blind SSRF, also known as time-based SSRF, involves the attacker using timing-related clues or delays to infer the success or failure of their malicious requests. By observing the response time of the application, the attacker can make educated guesses about the effectiveness of their SSRF attack.
