Matched remediation archetype
Server-side request forgery and unintended proxying
This catalog composition supplies bounded fallback guidance. Explicitly reviewed curated workflows load with the complete record below.
Check exposure
- Inventory server-side URL fetchers, webhooks, importers, previews, redirects, proxies, and protocol handlers reachable from untrusted input.
- Map egress paths to internal services, metadata endpoints, loopback, private address space, and privileged control planes.
- Review DNS resolution, redirect, proxy, credential-forwarding, and URL parsing behavior without requesting sensitive targets.
Remediate safely
- Replace arbitrary destinations with named integrations or a strict allowlist of schemes, hosts, ports, and paths.
- Resolve and validate every destination and redirect hop, then enforce egress policy independently of application checks.
- Remove ambient credentials and sensitive headers from fetchers; apply response size, time, and content limits.
