# Scope
Server-side request forgery and related URL-handling flaws. Identify outbound
HTTP / TCP / DNS calls whose destination is influenced by attacker input
without a strict allowlist or scheme/host validation.

# Patterns to flag (concrete)

- **Outbound HTTP sinks with user-controlled URL**:
  - Python: `requests.get(url)`, `urllib.request.urlopen(url)`, `httpx.get(url)`, `aiohttp.get(url)` with `url` from request.
  - Go: `http.Get(url)`, `http.NewRequest(method, url, ...)`, `client.Do(req)`, `net/url.Parse(user).String()`.
  - JS/TS: `fetch(url)`, `axios.get(url)`, `node-fetch`, `got`, `request`.
  - Java: `new URL(s).openConnection()`, `HttpClient.send(HttpRequest.newBuilder().uri(URI.create(s)))`, `RestTemplate.getForObject(url, ...)`.
  - Ruby: `Net::HTTP.get(URI(s))`, `open(s)` (open-uri).
- **Dangerous schemes** to test/block: `file://`, `gopher://`, `dict://`, `ftp://`, `jar://`, `ldap://`, `tftp://`, `glob:`, `phar://`.
- **Cloud metadata endpoints** an attacker will pivot to:
  - AWS IMDS: `169.254.169.254`, `[fd00:ec2::254]`.
  - GCP metadata: `metadata.google.internal`, `169.254.169.254`.
  - Azure IMDS: `169.254.169.254`.
  - Kubernetes API: `kubernetes.default.svc`, `10.0.0.1`.
  - Linklocal: `169.254.0.0/16`, `[fe80::/10]`.
- **Internal RFC1918 / loopback** as targets: `127.0.0.0/8`, `10.0.0.0/8`, `172.16.0.0/12`, `192.168.0.0/16`, `[::1]`.
- **DNS rebinding** susceptibility: code resolves once, validates host, then a library re-resolves at connect time — must resolve and connect to the *same* IP, or use an allowlist of IPs.
- **Redirect-following with no validation** of the redirect target's host/scheme.
- **Open redirect (CWE-601)**: `redirect(request.args["next"])`, `res.redirect(req.query.url)`, `Location: ${url}` without internal-host check.
- **Webhook/integration code** that takes a tenant-provided URL and posts to it without per-tenant network policy.

# Patterns to NOT flag
- URL hardcoded or read from typed config (no attacker control).
- Code that explicitly validates: `parsedURL.Scheme in {http, https}` AND host is in an allowlist AND IP resolved isn't private/loopback/linklocal.
- Outbound calls inside webhook delivery sandboxes (egress proxy, dedicated network namespace) — note the guard but still flag if the sandbox isn't proven from the code.

# Confidence calibration
- **high**: attacker-controlled `url` flows into an HTTP client with no scheme/host validation, OR the code accepts `file://`/`gopher://` schemes, OR reads from `169.254.169.254` based on user input.
- **medium**: URL is built from request data with a `urlparse` but only a partial check (e.g. scheme checked but host not).
- **low**: outbound call without visible source; or guard is present but partial — note what's missing.

# Suggested fix patterns
- Build an allowlist of permitted hosts; reject everything else before any HTTP call.
- Resolve the hostname to an IP; reject if IP is loopback, private, link-local, multicast, or cloud metadata; then connect by IP (defeats DNS rebinding).
- Enforce scheme set: only `https://` (or `http://` when needed); reject `file://`, `gopher://`, etc.
- Disable HTTP redirects, or re-validate the target after each redirect.
- For open redirects: only allow internal paths (`/something`) or an explicit list of trusted hosts.
- Run outbound integrations behind an egress proxy that enforces an allowlist.
