The author explains Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF), a term recently highlighted in OpenAI and HuggingFace security reports and Black Hat talks.
What is SSRF?
SSRF is a security vulnerability that allows attackers to coerce a vulnerable server into making requests to internal or external systems to access sensitive data.
Threats in the Agent Era
The author notes that SSRF will become increasingly common with the rise of AI agents. For instance, when developers use "vibecoding" to build web apps with network requests without proper validation, attackers can easily exploit this chained access to steal protected internal information.
