- Prevalence: Średnia Pokryto 3 języków
- Impact: Wysoki 4 reguł o wysokim poziomie
- Prevention: Udokumentowane 4 przykładów poprawek

**OWASP:** Server-Side Request Forgery (A10:2021-Server-Side Request Forgery) - #10

## Description

## Prevention

### JavaScript

Validate URLs against an allowlist of permitted domains before fetching

Validate URLs against domain allowlist before making requests

## Warning Signs

- [HIGH] Server Action '...' has SSRF vulnerability: user input controls HTTP request URL
- [HIGH] user-controlled input flowing into HTTP request URLs in Server Actions
- [HIGH] user input flowing into HTTP request functions without URL validation

## Consequences

- Odczyt danych aplikacji
- Obejście mechanizmu ochrony
- Wykonanie nieautoryzowanych poleceń

## Mitigations

- Stosuj listę dozwolonych celów
- Wyłącz zbędne schematy URL (file://, gopher://)
- Stosuj segmentację na poziomie sieci

## Detection

- Total rules: 4
- Languages: go, javascript, typescript, python

## Rules by Language

### Javascript (2 rules)

- **SSRF in Next.js Server Actions** [HIGH]: Detects user-controlled input flowing into HTTP request URLs in Server Actions.
  - Remediation: Validate and sanitize URLs before making HTTP requests. Use allowlists.
See remediation section for examples.
- **Server-Side Request Forgery via HTTP Requests** [HIGH]: Detects user input flowing into HTTP request functions without URL validation.
  - Remediation: Validate URLs against an allowlist of permitted domains before making requests.

```javascript
const url = new URL(userInput);
if (ALLOWED_DOMAINS.includes(url.hostname)) {
  axios.get(userInput);
}
```
