Lab: SSRF with blacklist-based input filter

PRACTITIONER

This lab has a stock check feature which fetches data from an internal system.

To solve the lab, change the stock check URL to access the admin interface at http://localhost/admin and delete the user carlos.

The developer has deployed two weak anti-SSRF defenses that you will need to bypass.

Solution

  1. Visit a product, click "Check stock", intercept the request in Burp Suite, and send it to Burp Repeater.
  2. Change the URL in the stockApi parameter to http://127.0.0.1/ and observe that the request is blocked.
  3. Bypass the block by changing the URL to: http://127.1/
  4. Change the URL to http://127.1/admin and observe that the URL is blocked again.
  5. Obfuscate the "a" by double-URL encoding it to %2561 to access the admin interface and delete the target user.
