SSRF on Cloud Metadata APIs happens when an attacker exploits SSRF to make a server request to its cloud provider’s metadata service (like AWS, GCP, or Azure) to access sensitive data, such as instance credentials, tokens, or configuration details. |

Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) on Cloud Metadata APIs is a vulnerability where attackers trick a server into making unauthorized requests to cloud metadata endpoints (e.g., AWS, Azure, or GCP metadata services), potentially exposing sensitive data like credentials, tokens, or instance information, often due to improper input validation. |
