Adversaries may attempt to take advantage of a weakness in an Internet-facing computer or program using software, data, or commands in order to cause unintended or unanticipated behavior. The weakness in the system can be a bug, a glitch, or a design vulnerability. These applications are often websites, but can include databases (like SQL), standard services (like SMB or SSH), network device administration and management protocols (like SNMP and Smart Install), and any other applications with Internet accessible open sockets, such as web servers and related services.

CVE-2026-15409

Rule Vulnerability

Server-Side Request Forgery

Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) attackers abuse functionality on the server to read or update internal resources. The attacker can supply or modify a URL for the server to read or submit data to. By carefully selecting the URLs, the attacker may be able to read server configuration such as AWS metadata, connect to internal services like http enabled databases or perform post requests for internal services which are not intended to be exposed.
