How I Found SSRF and CORS Misconfigurations in a Modern Web App

1. 1Run a manual penetration test on a web app to identify potential vulnerabilities
2. 2Configure a proxy to intercept and analyze HTTP requests
3. 3Test for SSRF by attempting to access internal resources
4. 4Apply CORS headers to restrict cross-origin requests
5. 5Compare the responses to identify potential misconfigurations

Security engineers and penetration testers can benefit from this knowledge to improve web app security, while developers can learn how to avoid common misconfigurations

💡 SSRF and CORS misconfigurations can be exploited to access internal resources and sensitive data
