What is SSRF and how do you prevent it in cloud applications?
Answer
SSRF occurs when attackers make your server request internal resources.
Mitigations:
- URL allowlists
- Block private IP ranges
- Use metadata service protections
- Strong egress controls
SSRF is especially dangerous in cloud because it can access instance metadata and credentials.
