ssrf-server-side-request-forgery

ssrf-server-side-request-forgery is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from miru-zero/zero-brain. It costs 45 tokens per session (3,593 once invoked), scanned E, a copy of ssrf-server-side-request-forgery, MIT.

A guide to testing server-side request forgery, where a server is tricked into sending requests chosen by an attacker. It covers requests to internal networks, cloud metadata services, and other protocols.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps test URL filters, hostname resolution, blind requests, cloud environments, DNS rebinding, file generators, and protocol-specific request paths.
Why use it?
It helps reveal when a public web feature can be used to reach systems or data that should not be externally accessible.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade E, and why

ssrf-server-side-request-forgery scanned grade E with 3 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Reaches for credential fileshighPrivilege escalation

SSH keys, cloud credentials, git-credentials, .npmrc, /etc/shadow: reading these is how a config file becomes a credential leak.

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.

0. QUICK START

Extended Scenarios

Also load 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 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.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

ssrf-server-side-request-forgery is a skill published in the GitHub repository miru-zero/zero-brain (0 stars, last pushed 18d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 45 tokens to every session and 3,593 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it E with 3 findings (reaches for credential files, cloud metadata endpoint, makes network calls). It is 91% identical to ssrf-server-side-request-forgery, differing in 4 lines, and is treated as a copy.
